Simpleview has released a new ebook outlining the top tourism trends to watch in 2025. Equipping destinations with practical insights and advice to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-changing tourism industry, six key trends are identified and supported with actionable tactics to effectively leverage these trends.

‍

Here is a brief overview of the six trends:

1. Priceless Escapes: How Destination Dupes Can Combat Overtourism: Overtourism continues to be a global challenge, with destinations seeking strategies to manage the influx of visitors. The rising trend of "destination dupes" – alternative destinations that offer similar experiences to popular, often crowded, tourist hotspots is expected to be a growing phenomenon.
2. Me, Myself, and the Open Road: The Appeal of Solo Travel: Solo travel is gaining significant momentum. "Me-moons" reflect the growing desire for independent travel experiences, with holidaymakers eager to meet new friends and make new connections on their journey.
3. Work from Paradise: Unlocking the Power of Workations: The rise of remote working has fuelled the popularity of “workations”, blending work and leisure travel. This trend presents a unique opportunity for destinations to attract longer stays.
4. Nostalgia-cations: Relive the Past, Create New Adventures: "Nostalgia-cations" are on the rise, driven by the desire to revisit childhood destinations and create new memories. Destinations can leverage this trend by offering experiences that blend the past with the present.
5. Nature's Playground: Discover the Joy of Slow Adventure with Agri-tourism: Food tourism and sustainable travel experiences, particularly agri-tourism, are booming. This trend reflects the increasing desire for immersive experiences that connect visitors with local environments and culinary experiences.
6. Crowds, Cheers and Culture: How Visitors are Following the Fun: Event tourism continues to be a strong driver of travel, with destinations increasingly leveraging sporting events, festivals and cultural events to attract visitors.
