According to Airbnb internal booking data, which compares reservations made for 2020 as of September 2019 with reservations made for 2019 as of September 2018, the 2020 travel outlook will involve a bit of exploring off the beaten path—and doing so in a way that considers the environment.
“Looking ahead to travel planning for next year, we’re forecasting growing interest in lesser-known and eco-conscious cities and countries across the world,” Airbnb stated in a release. “Ranging from post-industrial culture hubs like Milwaukee and Guadalajara to emerging destinations that are benefiting from an increase in sustainable tourism, this year’s list is full of surprises and hidden gems. Our research also shows that some of the top trending locales are cities and regions that are preparing for big events like the 2020 Mars Exploration Program launching from Cape Canaveral and the many surf competitions happening in Ubatuba, Brazil.”
