The top trending destinations for UK travellers

From the seaside charm of Salerno to the calm, culture-packed capital of Morocco, these places to travel are turning heads and climbing charts.

 

Destination	% search increase
Salerno, Italy	+211%
Koror, Palau	+156%
Kochi, Japan	+106%
Bilbao, Spain	+97%
Rabat, Morocco	+87%
Akureyri, Iceland	+83%
Rijeka, Croatia	+75%
Kaunas, Lithuania	+59%
St John’s, Canada	+58%
St George’s, Grenada	+56%

In 2026 UK travellers are turning their attention to smaller, lesser-known destinations that fly further under the radar but offer something fresh beyond the big-name spots.

From Europe’s hidden gems to far-flung escapes, 2026’s trending destinations reveal travellers’ appetite for culture, character and fresh horizons.

In Italy, Salerno offers Amalfi-Coast charm without the crowds, while Bilbao blends art and architecture in Spain’s Basque Country and Rijeka brings a quieter Adriatic allure.

Rabat pairs Morocco’s heritage with calm capital energy, and Kaunas in Lithuania is emerging as a creative, great-value city break.

Further afield, Kochi delivers a serene slice of Japan, Koror in Palau tempts divers with its crystal lagoons, and Akureyri in Iceland opens access to wild northern landscapes via new routes.

Across the Atlantic, St John’s in Canada charms with its colourful coastline, while St George’s in Grenada promises rainforest, spice markets and golden beaches in true Caribbean style.

 2026 Best value destinations: the fastest falling airfares over the past year 

Our travel experts have handpicked the best value holiday destinations, combining experience and affordability from those seeing the biggest YoY drops in flight prices.

Airfare drops are making it easier than ever to reach these places. From Goa’s laidback disposition to the volcanic, terraced vistas of Madeira, these best value holidays are much cheaper to reach thanks to flight price reductions.

We’re likely seeing cheaper fares to these destinations thanks to a couple of key shifts: new routes opening up and more frequent services from low-cost carriers. For example, direct routes have resumed recently from London Heathrow to Ottawa.
And a quick reminder for the savvy traveller: flight prices move like any other market. When demand dips, prices often drop to spark interest. When demand climbs, fares usually follow. Timing, as always, is everything.

 

Destination	% price drop
Cologne, Germany	–44%
Goa, India	–34%
Kaunas, Lithuania	–31%
Bergen, Norway	–27%
Madeira, Portugal	–26%
Santiago de Compostela, Spain	-–25%
Tbilisi, Georgia	–21%
Ottawa, Canada	-–20%
Murcia, Spain	–20%
Phnom Penh, Cambodia	–20%

In 2026, travellers are curating trips that feel more in tune with who they are and what they love. ​With the cost of living still top of mind, trips in 2026 are being built with purpose. They’re shaped around passions, priorities and a personal sense of ‘worth it’. ​

Bryan Batista, CEO Skyscanner said: “Skyscanner’s 2026 Travel Trends report shows how travel is about to get more personal than ever. Whether it’s building a trip around a must-stay ‘destination hotel’, getting lost in a new favourite book on a reading retreat, incorporating a beauty routine into their travel itinerary or bringing the whole family along for the journey, travel will become more curated, grounded and unique.”

The report combines Skyscanner’s own data with global consumer research and insights from renowned brands including Reddit, Malin and Goetz, All Trails and Penguin Books to identify the seven trends shaping travel in 2026.

The post 4,500+ global leaders from the aviation industry convene at the World Aviation Festival 2025 appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

World Aviation Festival 2025, the global stage for aviation innovation, strategy and transformation, has kicked off in Lisbon. Until October 9th, more than 4,500 global leaders from across the aviation industry will gather at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa, while over 600 speakers, including CEOs and other C-Level executives of the biggest aviation players, will share their expertise on stage. Visitors will also be able to meet and learn about the latest developments in aviation from more than 400 travel tech companies in the exhibition area.

In the more than 85 sessions celebrated on the first day of the event, speakers have covered topics including artificial intelligence, sustainability, digital transformation, cybersecurity, regulation, diversity, disruption management, and loyalty programmes.

AI is speeding up the pace of transformation

Artificial Intelligence continues to be the most transformative technology changing the aviation landscape and is doing it at a faster pace than before. As David Rowan, author and editor of Wired UK points out, “AI is the fastest ever adopted technology. We shouldn’t assume that everything that was fact until now will continue to be a fact”, explains the writer of “Non-bullshit Innovation”.

However, companies should consider if AI is the most appropriate technology for each new tech related project they want to start. According to Faith Taylor, SVP for Global Citizenship and Sustainability at Kyndryl, data and levering AI will help the sector to become more efficient and improve operations. But companies are advised to find out where the data centres are placed and what kind of energy they are powered with before they start migrating their systems to the cloud.

Ben Dias, Chief AI Scientist at IAG, says “Sustainability is built into every AI project that we consider. We make people aware that even when AI can do a thing, it doesn’t mean that it should be done with it. We also consider what kind of AI is needed. It is not only because of the costs, but also because of the impact it could have on the sustainability of our business”. IAG is currently working on an engine optimization system based on AI to make the engine maintenance schedule more efficient.

Net Zero by 2050 remains a goal

The aviation industry is moving forward with its 2050 Net Zero goal – and the replacement of fossil fuels with SAF is one of the main drivers. ATAG, Xelerated Fifty and Sustainable Aero Lab has discussed in a panel about how companies can finance and scale SAF production. In the opinion of Nichola Bates, CEO at Xelerated Fifty, sustainability is being stopped by cultural factors rather than by lack of technology. “The aviation sector needs financial mechanisms to push change with the collaboration of governments, financial institutions and the rest of stakeholders.”

When it comes to funding of SAF projects, there are different factors that are relevant. “One of them is the complex regulation that any innovation related to aviation is subject to” – explains Lukas Kaestner, Co-Found of Sustainable Aero Lab. Other factors impacting on SAF development schemes are the volume of investment needed to launch a new product and the time it takes for a product to be in the market. “At the end of the day, it depends on how visionary the investor is. We need collaboration among stakeholders and to think about what to do when the players are not playing the role they are supposed to play”.

Regardless of the geopolitical situation, Haldane Dod, Executive Director at ATAG, is optimistic about the decarbonization efforts of the industry. “Governments around the world are reaching common goals through negotiation and most of the major institutions do have people in their teams who are experts on SAF. Therefore, I am quite confident that we are in a very good position to reach Net Zero by 2050”.

New developments in the aviation sector

During the first day of the World Aviation Festival, DerbySoft, a company dedicated to accelerating travel commerce, has announced the launch of its Global Data Network (GDN), a new distribution model designed to move flight distribution from centralized systems to a decentralized, API-first network. AirAsia Group will be the first airline to join this solution.

eSIM GO, a digital connectivity company, has announced its Breeze Global Travel Pass which is designed to drive loyalty programme participation and the cross-selling of ancillary products for airlines, airports and other B2B aviation partners.

Accelya, a global leader in airline software, has announced a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services to power open and modern airline retailing.

The World Aviation Festival will resume tomorrow at 8.45am with the welcome address of Miguel Pinto Luz, Portugal’s Minister for Infrastructure & Housing. Other highlights will include an interview with Willy Walsh, General Director at IATA, who also will participate in a panel about navigating uncertainty in airline operations with TAP Air Portugal CEO Luis Rodrigues and IAG CEO Luis Gallego.

Guests can indulge in five dynamic restaurants and  bars, a see-and-be-seen pool scene, a luxurious spa and fitness centre, outdoor cinema, and dedicated  clubs for kids and teens, all framed by a pristine swathe of white-sand beach.

The post Travelex Launches Mobile FX Stores at Hamad International appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Travelex has unveiled a fleet of mobile currency exchange kiosks in the two newly unveiled Concourses, D & E, at Hamad International Airport, making it the first airport in the region to offer fully mobile, dual-sided FX kiosks. This initiative aligns with Hamad International Airport’s commitment to enhancing the passenger experience through faster service, smart technology and innovative solutions.

The new Travelex mobile kiosks, including a first-of-its-kind dual-sided design at Concourse D, enhance customer access and reduce wait times by serving travellers from both sides of the kiosk simultaneously. The increased visibility and modular design also align with evolving traveller demands for faster, more accessible service options.

With a total of six mobile kiosks now operational and a broader footprint that includes nine traditional Travelex outlets across Arrivals, Departures, Baggage Halls, Concourses A to E, and the ORCHARD area, Travelex now offers greater access to travel money throughout the airport. Passengers can seamlessly exchange more than 45 global currencies or collect travel money pre-ordered through the Travelex website in over 45 currencies.

“The surge in travellers to Doha is an exciting time both for Hamad International Airport and Qatar’s tourism industry, both of which are expanding rapidly,” said Batu Dölay, Managing Director, Travelex Middle East and Türkiye. “We are proud to improve the passenger journey by delivering more convenient, faster, and innovative access to foreign currency services at every touchpoint at one of the world’s leading airports.”

Designed with sustainability and flexibility in mind, the new mobile units use fewer materials and consume less energy than traditional outlets. They are also fully integrated with Travelex’s online platforms, allowing for seamless pre-ordering, contactless payment, and express pick-up via QR code.

This rollout comes as Hamad International reported over 52 million passengers in 2024, a 15% year-on-year increase. The airport’s expansion – including the opening of Concourses D and E in March 2025 – marks a major milestone in Qatar’s goal to become a premier global travel hub.

Customers at Hamad International can also send money to over 350,000 locations globally via Travelex’s money transfer service, making the brand not only a key player in foreign exchange but also a vital service partner for global travellers.

The post From June-July  hotels in Chicargo’s CBD filled over 3.56 million room nights, a 4.3% gain over 2024 appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Choose Chicago have recently released hotel metrics from a record-setting summer of travel to Chicago. During June, July, and August, hotels in Chicago’s Central Business District filled over 3.56 million room nights, a 4.3% gain over 2024 and surpassing the previous record set pre-COVID in the summer of 2019. Revenue generated from these bookings totaled $949 million, also an all-time record and 0.8% higher than last summer’s total. This spectacular summer of travel bucked national trends and underscores the resilience of the city’s tourism sector and its critical importance to the regional economy.

“Chicago is never done breaking records and never outdone as a global destination,” said Kristen Reynolds, President and CEO of Choose Chicago. “Despite the global tourism industry facing social and economic headwinds, leisure travellers and event planners continue to choose Chicago for our world-class culture, food, events, and hospitality. Our hotels and tourism partners have once again delivered an unforgettable summer season for millions of guests, further strengthening the industry’s $20 billion annual economic impact for our City and supporting 130,000 hospitality jobs across all 77 neighbourhoods.”

Chicago’s spectacular summer defied national trends, coming as the entire global tourism industry continues to face economic and geopolitical challenges. While hotel room demand in Chicago was setting records, nationwide hotel room demand was down 0.5% compared to 2024 during the summer months. Through August of this year, Chicago’s total hotel room demand is up 3.7% compared to last year, while nationwide demand is down 0.1% year-to-date.

“Chicago remains a world-class destination for all visitors—whether for vacations, meetings, or major events,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “This year’s record hotel numbers show that investing in our tourism and hospitality industries creates jobs, drives economic growth, and highlights the very best of Illinois – thanks to the dedication and talent of the people who make this industry thrive.”

“Tourism is about more than dollars; it’s about pride in the city we call home,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “The figures released by Choose Chicago are a testament to the incredible people who make our city shine—from hotel and restaurant workers to cultural leaders to small business owners—all of them go above and beyond to make our visitors feel welcome and make Chicago the greatest city in the world.”

The record-breaking summer of travel was driven by conventions, sporting events, festivals, concerts, and Chicago’s world-renowned cultural and culinary scene. The Chicago Department of Aviation has reported that the ten busiest days of all time in terms of passenger volume also occurred this summer. It was a particularly strong summer for leisure travellers, who occupied 2.5 million hotel rooms, up 11.2% compared to 2024. The four strongest individual weekends (Friday – Saturday) on record for local hotels all took place this summer:

• Weekend of July 19 – 92,643 room nights driven by NIKE Tournament of Champions at McCormick Place, BLACKPINK at Soldier Field, and other events
• Weekend of August 30 – 91,559 room nights driven by Labor Day leisure travel, and multiple major concerts
• Weekend of June 21 – 91,384 room nights driven by Pride Fest, American Diabetes Association conference at McCormick Place, and other events
• Weekend of August 2 – 91,049 room nights driven by Lollapalooza, and other events

“Hotels throughout Chicago are encouraged by this momentum and look forward to continuing to welcome more visitors to our amazing city,” said Michael Jacobson, President & CEO, Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association. “But we cannot rest on recent successes, as our industry faces a host of challenges caused by rising costs and ongoing economic uncertainty. We must remain focused on fostering a vibrant hospitality industry that allows for long-term growth, creates new opportunities for our employees, and drives investment across the city.”

Tourism remains a vital driver of the Chicagoland economy. In 2024, the city welcomed an estimated 55.3 million visitors, generating $20.6 billion in economic impact. Meetings and events are a cornerstone of that impact: in 2024 alone, they generated over $3 billion in economic activity and introduced hundreds of thousands of new visitors to the city’s cultural, culinary, and hospitality offerings.

Choose Chicago and its partners remain focused on sustaining this momentum through the autumn and winter seasons to ensure that Chicago continues to thrive as a premier global destination for leisure travel, conventions, and major events of all varieties. This announcement comes just weeks after Choose Chicago launched the “All for the Love of Chicago” campaign, encouraging residents and visitors to share their authentic experiences and stories to illustrate what the city means to them.

The post InterLnkd teams up with Viasat to offer AirMall appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

InterLnkd and global satellite communications provider Viasat have joined forces to give the latter’s airline customers access to AirMall, the first full-scale digital inflight shopping mall.

With AirMall, carriers have a new way to monetise their onboard WiFi investment.

Announced at the World Aviation Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, the agreement will see AirMall available on Viasat’s Connected Partner Platform, which hosts curated applications, enabling the provider’s airline customers to opt in to a global retail channel that connects travellers to more than 20,000 brands in the air.

Unveiled earlier this month, InterLnkd’s AirMall is a white-label retail solution that offers tailored product recommendations, flexible post-flight delivery, and loyalty integration, all without onboard stock or added crew workload.

A new inroad to inflight monetisation 

Barry Klipp, CEO of InterLnkd, said: “Our partnership with Viasat allows us to introduce AirMall to a global family of connected airlines at speed. It gives carriers a unique and powerful way to monetise real passenger behaviour in flight – turning the Wi-Fi portal into a digital retail channel that offsets the costs of providing connectivity on board.”

Viasat’s vice-president of inflight media Nathan Clapton added: “Many airlines are keen to find smart, scalable ways to earn revenue from inflight connectivity, especially as demand for the Wi-Fi onboard accelerates globally. Through our partnership with InterLnkd, airline partners can choose to push the boundaries of inflight retail without heavy IT investment and deliver a stronger passenger experience while driving new revenue.”

The collaboration enables Viasat’s airline customers to choose to activate AirMall seamlessly using their existing portal infrastructure and deploy it quickly across their fleets, with no additional onboard hardware or software required.
