Japan leads emerging travel destinations for 2025, while all-inclusive vacations rank as the top overall trend, according to a new travel advisor survey released Thursday.
The survey by TravelSavers and Nest showed Italy maintaining its position as the most popular destination overall, followed by Alaska, Portugal, Mexico's Riviera Maya and the Dominican Republic.
Among up-and-coming destinations, Japan topped the list, followed by Eastern Europe, South Africa, Morocco and Antarctica. The rising interest in Eastern Europe reflects a broader trend toward less-visited locations, with travelers particularly drawn to Prague, Krakow and the Baltic countries.
The survey identified the top five travel trends for 2025 as all-inclusive travel, family travel, river cruising, active/adventure travel and multigenerational travel.
Bucket-list trips are the leading emerging trend, followed by personalized experiences and off-the-beaten-path destinations.
The findings are based on responses from U.S. and Canadian travel advisors surveyed between Oct. 29 and Nov. 16, 2024.
