Hey you, adventure-seeker at heart!
2025 is here, and it’s bringing a wave of travel trends you won’t want to miss. But why go solo when you can share magical moments with your crew? Buckle up—we’re taking you through the top trends to explore with friends!
1. Sustainable Tourism: Go Green, Go Together
Forget gas-guzzling SUVs and mega cruise ships—responsible travel is in. A 2023 study by HES-SO revealed that Travelise trips emit 70% less CO₂ than traditional travel agencies. Save the planet and create unforgettable, frame-worthy memories with your squad.
Fun fact: Sweden’s island Gotland is nicknamed "the green island" and offers only eco-friendly activities!
2. Micro-Adventures: Escape Right Where You Are
You don’t need a passport to feel far from home. Grab your friends and dive into a Swiss Tour Surprise. These day trips in small groups take you to a secret Swiss region—think local producers, hidden trails, and a sense of discovery around every bend.
3. Wellness Getaways with Friends: Group Zen Mode
Not every vacation needs to be a party. Reset together with a wellness retreat—think sunrise yoga, essential oil massages, and outdoor spas. Recharge, reconnect, and relax as a group.
Fun fact: The Dutch island Terschelling offers laughter therapy retreats where you’ll literally laugh for hours. Yes, it’s a thing—and it’s amazing.
4. Set-Jetting: Travel Through Your Favorite Shows
Love Game of Thrones or Emily in Paris? Go “set-jetting”—visit filming locations and step into your favorite scenes. The best part? You can do it without flying. Snap group pics recreating iconic moments (no spoilers though!).
Fun fact: The real Winterfell is in Northern Ireland—a must-visit for any fan.
5. Multigenerational Travel: All Together Now
Why not invite your parents or grandparents along? Multigen trips are a rising trend in 2025. Chill activities for some, sporty hikes for others—and shared stories around the fireplace at night.
Trip idea: A panoramic train ride through the Swiss Alps with local tasting stops along the way. Scenic, slow-paced, and stunning.
6. Natural Phenomena: Nature’s Light Show
Nothing bonds a group like witnessing a natural wonder. Plan your trip around eclipses, auroras, or animal migrations—all reachable without boarding a plane.
Fun fact: You can reach Salzburg, Austria by train—perfect for music lovers, history buffs, and alpine scenery seekers
7. Noctourism: Adventures After Dark
Why end your day at sundown? Dive into noctourism—explore cities like Prague or Venice by night, join nighttime museum tours, attend light shows at historic sites, or go stargazing with a pro guide.
Bonus idea: Lyon’s Festival of Lights is a can’t-miss nighttime experience—pure magic without leaving Europe.
