The holiday trends of 2019
WE WITNESS a lot of holiday trends at Barrhead Travel. Every year, we watch certain destinations (such as New York City and Orlando) getting booked in droves, along with familyfriendly, sun-drenched destinations such as Majorca and Turkey.
But every year we also spot a few places climbing in popularity, and 2018 was no different.
We’ve had a look at our bookings and compiled a list of holiday destinations that we reckon will become more popular in the next 12 months.
If you’re looking for a European city break that is popular enough that it has loads to offer but still boasts a lot of native charm, we recommend Lisbon.
The quaint Portuguese capital is a great spot for seafood, architecture and history, from Roman imperialists to exotic Berber pirates.
Across the pond, Vancouver, Toronto, Niagara Falls, the Rocky Mountains, and the Calgary Stampede have typically battled it out to be Canada’s top destination.
But Atlantic Canada is now creeping in there. Collectively made up of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador, Atlantic Canada offers history, low-key adventures, and copious amounts of seafood. Plus, Halifax is only a six-hour flight from the UK.
Australia has always been popular and we’ve seen a rise in the amount of people travelling to Western Australia.
It isn’t surprising given that it offers everything that makes Australia a great holiday destination – surf, kangaroos, incredible landscapes and a bustling cosmopolitan capital.
But if you’re looking for a sun-filled, all-inclusive family holiday we recommend Turkey. Last year, it was one of our most popular (and cheapest) short haul breaks for families. Dalaman and Antalya are the most popular places within Turkey.
