Summer is in full swing, which means fall and the holidays are right around the corner. Festive season continues to be a very popular time to travel. Whether it’s exploring Christmas markets in Europe, visiting iconic holiday locations like Rockefeller Center in NYC, or enjoying a beach in Hawaii, Mexico, or the Caribbean, now is the time to plan and secure space at your favorite resort. Many people enjoy the same special holiday spots (and special memories) every year. Some of the allure of holiday travel lies not only in the destination, but also in the shared memories and experiences with family and friends that will last a lifetime.
As you start planning next year’s trips or bucket list destination, I’d suggest looking at 2024’s top places. Some of the most popular destinations we’ve booked this year include Japan, Portugal, Africa, and Italy (with extra interest in the Dolomites). Interest in Antarctica and Arctic cruises has also increased this year and many new expedition ships have started sailing in the last few years. These ships offer more in-depth exploration in some amazing destinations, as well as unique ways to enjoy the destinations, all with a new level of luxury to enhance your travel experiences.
Yes, travel is still busy and gets busier all the time. With summer and the 4th of July holiday being one of the busiest times at airports, we find many clients enjoying what used to be called “shoulder season,” the time just before and after peak periods. While peak seasons remain busy, we are seeing more people travel during months that were previously considered off-peak since they can benefit from slightly lower prices and far fewer crowds. You can even find ocean cruises in Europe this winter.
