A new report from Booking.com provides insight to the top travel trends for next year, with many travelers going beyond sightseeing.
The annual travel predictions report for 2025 highlights the “passport to longevity” trend.
“Vacations in 2025 will go beyond relaxation, evolving into life-enhancing journeys focused on health and well-being,” Booking.com’s website says.
Fifty-two percent of American travelers say they are willing to pay for vacations “designed solely to extend their lifespan and improve their overall health,” according to Booking.com.
Ben Harrell, US managing director at Booking.com, told Fox News Digital via email he sees vacations evolving into something more for travelers than just a time to relax.
“[For] American travelers willing to pay for vacations designed to improve their overall health and even extend their lifespan, the travel industry is stepping up to offer transformative experiences, like cryotherapy, body vibration, red light treatments and stem cell therapies in order to help people find peace of mind and body that lasts even beyond the last days of the vacation,” said Harrell.
Booking.com sees longevity retreats leading with 49% of Americans expressing interest in “programs that replace temporary fixes with deeper revitalization,” the website says.

“In 2025, the journey won’t end when the trip does; it will carry forward as a path to a longer, healthier life,” added Harrell.
