From calmcations to coolcations – 2025 is all about meaningful escapes

As global travel patterns shift, seven key trends are set to shape how we explore the world in 2025. Insights from leading travel platforms and analysts reveal growing interest in noctourism, calmcations, and off-season safaris. Travellers are seeking deeper connections through quiet escapes, stargazing adventures, or social solo travel.

Economic and environmental uncertainty continues to influence travel behaviour. With climate concerns rising, more tourists are opting for cooler destinations like Norway and Finland over traditional hotspots.

The integration of AI in travel planning is also transforming the way we book and experience trips. Meanwhile, the return of holiday romances and nostalgic travel points to a growing desire for emotional and human-centred journeys.

In response, some of the best hotel chains in the world, such as the well-known Pan Pacific, PARKROYAL COLLECTION & PARKROYAL, are aligning their offerings with emerging traveller preferences by focusing on wellness, unique experiences, and meaningful connections.

These evolving preferences highlight a powerful shift, where transformation, not just relaxation, defines the journey.
