This week's top travel trends
(Thursday 22 January) Here are the trends that caught our eye this week:
Where to travel with the family in 2020
Berlin is the number-one city worldwide for family-oriented leisure activities. This is the conclusion of a conducted by house removals and relocation platform Movinga, which analysed the median ratings of all activities labelled 鈥榝amily-friendly鈥� on Foursquare and 鈥榢id-friendly鈥� on Google. Tokyo and Copenhagen ranked second and third, respectively.
Luxury travel trends for the new year
According to Small Luxury Hotels of the World鈥檚 , 鈥榙ispersed hotels鈥� 鈥� spread out across small towns or villages 鈥� are on the rise as a new way of experiencing destinations. 鈥楿pskilling escapes鈥�, which help travellers learn new skills, are increasingly popular, too, and so are indigenous spa practices and sleep programmes. Finally, sustainable getaways and foodie trips remain high on the modern traveller鈥檚 agenda.
Growing demand for personalised transportation
In response to the growing problem of congestion in urban areas, consumers are increasingly demanding a range of flexible transport options, as highlighted by Euromonitor鈥檚 . This has, in turn, led to a growth in demand for navigation apps such as Citymapper, Whim and BlueSG.
