Based on Tripadvisor's global insights, the Trendcast draws on search, booking and behavioral data, as well as user-generated content from over one billion reviews and posts on the platform. From "Beauty Voyagers" seeking one-of-a-kind treatments around the world to travelers discovering "Nano Neighborhoods" block by block, these trends highlight the destinations, experiences and motivations that are reshaping the way we travel.
