Booking.com’s 2027 Travel Predictions Reveal the Ultimate Travel Flex: Going Off-Script

Booking.com’s 11th annual Travel Predictions reveal travel going off-script: led by mood, shaped by budget, and defined by surprise. Based on research among more than 28,000 global travelers, the findings show how people are rethinking where they go, who they travel with, and how they experience the world. From mood-mapped itineraries to paranormal encounters, AI-assisted time off, and couples using a long hike to have conversations they cannot have at home, 2027 is set to take travel beyond the traditional itinerary.
