]]>It’s never too early to start making your travel plans for the next year, and Expedia is here to help you out. The online travel agency unveiled its list of the top trends worth trying in 2024, and here are three that piqued our interest.
Set-jetting, aka using movies and TV shows for travel inspiration, will be one of the biggest travel trends of 2024, and Expedia offered several possible destinations worth exploring. Thailand (The White Lotus: Season 3), Romania (Wednesday: Season 2), Malta (Gladiator 2), Scottish Highlands (Outlander), and Greece (Argylle) made it to their list this year.
Tour tourism became all the rage in 2023 thanks to Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour and Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour, and its popularity isn’t fading away. According to Expedia’s survey, 70% of respondents are more likely to travel to a concert outside their own town, with over 40% saying they’d travel for a concert as an excuse to visit a new place.
This travel trend is all about exploring destinations that offer an affordable alternative to popular tourist attractions. Paros, Taipei, Liverpool, and Pattaya have been suggested as dupes for Santorini, Seoul, London, and Bangkok because they’re “a little unexpected, sometimes more affordable, and every bit as delightful.”

]]>Thanks to Google and Expedia, booking a vacation has never been easier. You don’t even need to use hands anymore — you can book a hotel using voice commands on your Google Assistant.

“We’re excited to innovate with ways to make travel planning easier, no matter where you are or what device you’re using. The market has seen rapid adoption of these new technologies within the past year and we want to make sure that Expedia customers are able to get the travel information they need, exactly when they need it. The Google Assistant is a step in that direction,” said VP of product and technology for Expedia, Brent Harrison.
