7 significant travel trends to expect for 2024, by eviivo

Many of the issues that dogged the UK’s dining scene in 2022 did so throughout 2023 — particularly the high cost of food, which continues to have a big impact on how and what we’re eating. This is being felt most notably in the capital, where food costs are compounded by high and rising rents, contributing to what many food writers have cited as a sense that restaurants are playing it safe, at least within the city centre. As the Guardian’s food critic Grace Dent put it in her end of year review, ‘2023 seemed to be the year that London’s restaurant scene lost its edge. Outside the M25, I was eating far better’. This sense of caution can be seen among many of the trends widely cited for 2025, with humble ingredients and classic creations seeing a return in popularity. Perhaps this is why the martini is back in fashion and beans are more prevalent on the menus of hip restaurants — albeit both with fresh twists and interpretations. For all this, though, there are still plenty of exciting developments, such as the rise of music-led restaurants and fresh ingredients to explore, such as the fig leaf. Here’s what’s on the horizon for 2024.

One silver lining of the COVID pandemic for the travel industry was that it gave many hotels the opportunity to take a break, rethink things, and take on renovation projects that might have otherwise been impossible when open and doing business as usual. As a result, a rash of “better than ever” re-openings have occurred the past two years, and in 2023 I was fortunate enough to visit several top tier Forbes 4 and 5-Star hotels and resorts that had finished or were wrapping up massive upgrades or expansions. I’m not talking about new carpets or un updated spa, I’m talking 8 and 9-figure reimaginings.
