7 travel trends for 2027 that will change the way you explore the world

Traveling in 2027 promises to go beyond postcards. Architecture, cinema, music, and wellness appear as starting points for choosing destinations, while "quick getaways" and nature experiences are gaining space on the agenda.

Reports from Hoteis.com, Expedia, and Skyscanner indicate that tourists are seeking more personal experiences, paying attention to budget and to the meaning of each journey. Below, we have gathered seven travel trends for 2027 and tips on how to incorporate them into upcoming itineraries.

1. Gothic accommodations full of personality

Castles, historic hotels, corridors lit by chandeliers, and interiors with deep colors are on the radar. According to Hoteis.com, 70% of Brazilians surveyed are interested in Gothic-inspired accommodations. The idea is to turn the architecture itself into part of the experience.

To get into the mood, it is worth researching hotels like L'oscar London, in London, known for its theatrical interiors, or Château Frontenac, in Québec, whose silhouette recalls the great European castles.

2. Short but memorable getaways

You don't always need to take extended vacations to change scenery. The so-called "vacation pills", trips with stays of just one night, are a bet for those who want to celebrate special dates or simply break the routine.

A night at a design hotel, a gastronomic weekend in a nearby town, or a stay with a spa are ways to enjoy the trend without organizing a complex itinerary.

3. Destinations inspired by movies and series

So-called set-jetting remains popular: 65% of Brazilians surveyed by Hoteis.com research places they discovered on screen. Interest can arise from a landscape, a costume, or even the decor of a hotel featured in fiction.

How about exploring the historic English architecture evoked by Bridgerton or visiting Monaco, which came onto fans' radar after news of Emily in Paris filming? Here, traveling is also about extending a favorite narrative.

4. Less obvious places gain the spotlight

Swapping well-known destinations for cities with their own identities is another trend. In the Skyscanner survey, Arequipa, in Peru, and Uyuni, in Bolivia, saw strong growth in Brazilians' flight searches.

Arequipa charms with its volcanic stone architecture and proximity to the Andes. Uyuni, in turn, offers the almost surreal landscapes of the salt flat. In Brazil, Bonito, in Mato Grosso do Sul, appears among the rising destinations.

5. Nature and digital disconnection

The desire to step away from notifications also influences choices. According to Skyscanner, 31% of Gen Z travelers plan to disconnect during their trips in 2027, prioritizing moments of presence and togetherness.

To try it out, opt for accommodations near parks, trails and rivers, with free time to walk, observe the landscape and rest. Regions such as El Calafate, in Argentina, offer a special invitation to contemplation.

6. Music as a reason to pack your bags

Concerts continue to drive tourism, but the novelty is also looking at the musical culture of destinations. Regional festivals, historic concert halls and popular manifestations help to design affective itineraries.

A trip may begin with an interest in New Orleans jazz, in Rio de Janeiro samba or in a performance at an emblematic theater. The experience gains new layers when music converses with the city.

7. Wellness that goes beyond the spa

The so-called gym-cations integrate physical movement, rest and nutrition into the itinerary. Walks, yoga classes, bike rides and outdoor experiences share space with museums and restaurants.

Sedona, in the United States, brings together trails among reddish rock formations and wellness retreats. It is an example of how vacations can combine discovery, physical activity and tranquility, without turning rest into an obligation.

More than following a list of places, the trends point to trips with identity: itineraries that express personal interests and make every stay, long or brief, truly memorable.
