Stargazing in the Chilean desert? Thrill seeking in the French Alps? Beach bathing on a Chinese island, anyone? Booking.com recently parsed its 1,000 most-booked destinations of the last year to come up with a list of trending vacation spots for 2025 — and added some travel trend predictions too. “The trends we see emerging for 2025 toss conventional travel aside,” Ben Harrell, Booking’s US managing director, told the media, “and make room for more non-traditional experiences that accept and embrace uncertainty.” Some 27% of the Booking survey respondents now view airports as destinations of their own, not just travel hubs.
