Booking.com Predicts the Top Travel Trends for 2020

TORONTO, Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Drawing on its expertise as a leader in travel and technology, Booking.com predicts 2020 will be a year of travel exploration like never before, fueled by technology as well as a growing sense of responsibility and deeper connection with the people and places we visit. Here are the top Canadian travel trends as revealed by Booking.com for the year ahead:

The rise of the ‘second city’ traveller

Second-city travel – the exploration of lesser known destinations in a bid to reduce over-tourism – will take a leap forward in 2020. 45% of Canadian travellers would swap their original destination for a lesser-known, but similar alternative, if they knew it would leave less of an environmental impact.

Tech-spect the unexpected

2020 will see travellers put key aspects of their decision-making process more firmly in the hands of technology. 54% of Canadian travellers want tech to offer them a ‘wildcard’ and surprise options that would introduce them to something entirely new.

Slo-Mo is the new #FOMO

Instead of experiencing the constant fear of missing out (FOMO), travel in 2020 will be all about taking it slow and focusing on the journey. 47% of travellers plan to take slower modes of transport to reduce their environmental impact, and 65% would prefer to take a longer route to experience more of the journey itself.
