The 2024 travel forecast is looking sunny with a chance of savings. Despite increasing inflation, according to the latest internal data from KAYAK airfare is down 13% for domestic and 3% for international flights vs. 2023. To help travelers score a deal and figure out where to go, KAYAK’s Travel Check- In: Summer 2024 report offers data-driven insights on top trending destinations, wallet-friendly hotspots, and summer holiday travel hacks.
“This summer’s trending destinations – places gaining more interest vs. last year – are ones we haven’t seen ‘pop’ in years past. From Africa earning the top trending region title to a notable increase in searches for hidden gem European cities like Tirana (Albania), Vienna (Austria) and Bucharest (Romania), the appetite for culturally diverse destinations is on the rise,” said Jake Bouvrie, KAYAK’s Chief Economist. “If you’re considering an international trip this summer – plan it for after July 4th to take advantage of lower airfares.”
