Luxury travelers are now opting for longer getaways, with trips stretching to an average of two weeks, according to a recent report.
Here’s a quick look at what’s driving this trend and what it means for the travel industry.
According to timesnownews.com, Travel is always bout looking beyond the ordinary, experiencing the untouched, and exploring the unexplored. With the digitalisation of almost everything, new travel trends have been emerging.
According to the Luxury Travel Report by Zicasso, which is one of the most high end travel-planning company, the slow and small trips are now stretching to an average duration of about two weeks for luxury travellers – this giving birth to another travel trends – ‘Staying Away Longer’.
According to Skift Research’s 2025 Travel Outlook report, travel companies are anticipating a 24% surge in the number of trips people are planning for the year ahead compared to 2024. And now, these long leisure trips have become the most popular type of travel choice – instead of those weekend getaways and road trips. The report has deemed 2025 as “the year of long getaways”.
Julia Carter, founder of luxury travel company Craft Travel, while speaking to BBC said, “Travellers are over the frenzy of taking photos in wildly packed tourist sites or iconic hotels just to say they’ve been there. Instead, they now increasingly recognise that when it comes to travel, a destination only really comes alive when you slow things down.”
