Multi-generational and Family Travel May Become the Main Trends for 2012

Luxury travel network Virtuoso has published the list of most popular travel trends of this year. If river cruises, luxury cruises, adventure trips and celebration travel were also hot in 2011, family and multi-generational travels are new to tour operators.

2012 Virtuoso Luxe Report also includes the list of the world’s most popular destinations for this year. England has unexpectedly joined the top 5 international destinations for travel. Other countries present in the list are South Africa, Italy, France, and Australia. The most popular tourist destinations in North America are Maui, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami/South Beach, and Napa. In the category of most popular emerging destinations are Vietnam, Cuba, Belize, Cambodia, and Galapagos Islands.

The greatest influences for travel in 2012 are similar to the previous year. These are authentic travel experiences, a chance to rest, a possibility to learn something new, spending time with loved ones, and new adventures.

The main factors that determine vacation choice are destination, ability to make “once-in-a-lifetime” trip, and values for money.
