New ways to travel
新的旅行方式
Do you have any travel plans for 2025? Condé Nast Traveller and Booking.com have shared their 2025 travel trends predictions.
Have fun at night
The word “noctourism” comes from the words “nocturnal” and “tourism”. “Nocturnal” means happening during the night. So, this trend is all about the beauty of travelling at night. It is about travellers taking part in things like stargazing (观星). As the world gets hotter, many people find it uncomfortable to go out during the day, especially in summer. They enjoy going to places to do fun activities in the cooler evenings. While most activities have something to do with the night sky, others happen on the ground, such as city tours at night and full moon picnics by the sea.
Healthy travel
Trying to become immortal (长生), or living forever might be going a little too far. But our interest in living longer and healthier still stays strong. In 2025, more people will plan their trips around activities that help them live longer, according to Booking.com. For example, people will go to places that offer red light therapy to visitors. The therapy uses red light to help make skin look better. “In the future, travel won’t just be about having fun. People will also care more about staying healthy,” Booking.com said.
Smaller and less famous places
Sometimes when you are travelling, taking different paths and finding cool places can be fun. Detour (绕道) travel means going to smaller, less famous places close to the main sites and spending time there. For example, the city of Reims (兰斯) is a popular detour from Paris, as is Santa Barbara (圣巴巴拉) from Los Angeles. Tom Barber, co-founder of the travel company Original Travel, told Condé Nast Traveller that in Europe, rail travel makes it easy to take detours. This is because once you start looking at a train timetable, you will find there are so many interesting little stops you could take.
