Travel Trends

Looking ahead, easyJet has noted that 28% of Brits choose destinations based on TV shows or films, citing inspiration from hits like The White Lotus. The airline suggested that instead of expensive Saint-Tropez, travellers consider nearby Toulon or Villefranche-sur-Mer for Riviera glamour at a lower price.

Book enthusiasts are also influencing travel, with historic towns from classic literature or modern retellings gaining popularity. Top spots include Verona (Shakespeare) and Pamplona (Hemingway). Meanwhile, sports lovers are increasingly opting for destinations offering pickleball and padel. Spain is highlighted as a global centre for padel, with over 20,000 courts and higher participation than tennis. easyJet noted that padel racquets are small enough to fit in hand luggage, making it an easy addition to a trip.
