Looking ahead to 2024, luxury tailor-made travel experts Cazenove+Loyd has identified seven key ways in which we are likely to travel next year and beyond. Working in collaboration with Globetrender, a leading travel trend forecasting agency, the report, entitled ‘Travelling with Purpose: Milestone Motivations’,looks beyond demographics to focus on psychographics, categorising common life events that are the prompts for why many of us travel.
To accurately pinpoint future trends, Jenny Southan, CEO and founder of Globetrender, reveals: “You have to be plugged into the zeitgeist, which means reading news daily, from a variety of sources, subscribing to dozens of newsletters, watching a wide variety of new TV shows, and regularly meeting and speaking with industry experts. I also have a deep foundational knowledge of both business and leisure travel having worked as a travel journalist for almost 20 years. The secret ingredient to trend forecasting is a creative mind and killer intuition, which allows you to spot patterns, make interesting hypotheses and make illuminating extrapolations from data.”
At the heart of the report are seven ‘Milestone Motivations’—reasons why travelers may book a tailor-made holiday like those curated by Cazenove+Loyd.
The motivations include ‘New Beginnings’ which could relate to those having experienced divorce, bereavement or post-graduation. ‘Meaningful Discoveries’ whereby travelers seek to evolve their understanding of something specific or undertake a “once in a lifetime” adventure. ‘Building Bonds’ can be a multi-generational holiday, a group getaway with friends or a journey with a partner, in which people strive to feel connected. ‘Memorable Celebrations’, on the other hand, include going on honeymoon, having a destination wedding, or marking a birthday or anniversary. ‘Personal Liberation’ relates to people wanting to make the most of their adulthood before becoming parents or after their offspring have left home. But it also aligns with anyone who wants to take a gap year, work remotely or make the most of retirement.
‘Active Contemplations’ relates to the role travel can play in achieving a sense of closure, reassessing who you are, gaining perspective and achieving clarity when looking to the future. Wellness tourism is often pegged to this ‘Milestone Motivation’, but trips can take many forms. Finally, ‘Legacy Creation’ is tied to longevity, ancestry, the building of families and investment in personal betterment.
As well as the motivating factors, the report also identifies seven key travel trends, which reveal the increasing types of trips people are seeking out.

If 2022 travel trends were all about a return to travel, then 2023 was the year we went further than ever before. Travelers took to the skies, rails, roads, and seas to cross off goals on their bucket lists with Arctic adventures, luxury yacht cruises, and even the first tourist trip into space.

Private group travel may be one of the biggest travel trends of 2024. A recent survey by luxury travel advisors at Embark Beyond found that 61% of Americans are interested in traveling with extended families or a small group of friends next year.
The principals of the innovative London and New York-based travel company Black Tomato made their name by assembling detail-oriented and sometimes very out of the way travel plans for exceedingly curious, adventurous clients. Having surveyed the market to ascertain what their clients are interested in now and the changes they see in the travel landscape, they’ve come up with the ways they see that travel happening in the next year and in what parts of the world those ambitious travelers could be.

Wellness used to be as one-dimensional as a spin class and a smoothie. Diet and exercise are of course still fundamental, but we’ve finally started to embrace a more holistic approach to achieving better health. This means focusing on long neglected areas like a solid sex life, socializing, rest and recovery, and emotional and mental wellbeing. Feeling good now trumps looking good and healthspan—the quality of our years—has become just as important as lifespan. Longevity, the concept of living a longer and healthier life, will be the biggest buzzword of 2024, with wellness clinics as well as sybaritic beach retreats offering the latest biohacks (cryotherapy, infrared light treatments, poolside vitamin IV drips) to optimize our performance. Tantra gurus and sex therapists will be the new must-have in-house expert and artificial-intelligence empowered smart beds are fast becoming an expected amenity.

After the year of revenge travel (and flight costs rising with a similar vengeance), tourism might be settling into relative homeostasis in 2024. Then again, everything has changed, including the terrain of where you’ll want to go next, and maybe even the order of your bucket list.
