The place Are Travellers Headed in 2024? Right here Are the High Locations

Tourism professionals are starting to make predictions about what will be the best and most popular travel destinations of 2024. While Paris — and France — are set to be a top draw for many visitors next year with the role of host of the summer Olympics, it risks being outshone by other trending destinations such as Mexico and Japan.

With preparations for the festive season set to kick into high gear in just a few days with the Black Friday sales, many people are already looking ahead to 2024 to see what this new year will bring in terms of getting away to relax and discover new locales. Tourism operators are of course in the starting-blocks, while travelers have already begun booking their vacations, particularly for February/March. And industry players are of course analysing consumer interest to determine which destinations will be the best and most popular in 2024.

Travel guides, flight comparison sites, hotel booking platforms, online tour operators… each has its own specific audience, with distinct characteristics. The travel guide reader is looking for inspiration and to create a specific itinerary, while the web user logging on to an online tour operator is looking for a comprehensive experience without much fuss. So of course each list of trending destinations is different from the others. That said, it’s interesting to check out several of these lists to look for patterns among countries or regions most often included.
