“The two main macro forces governing holiday planning in 2024 are modern culture and money management. We see this in the ‘limelight effect’ that certain locations benefit from after appearing in TV shows and movies, for example; and the rise of ‘finfluencers’ (financial influencers) who are inspiring consumers to adopt savvy spending strategies such as paying in interest-free instalments for trips and booking off-season. Travellers are also becoming more curious, seeking out lesser-known destinations to visit – in some cases this is being propelled by viral TikTok content that sparks interest in a place they have never heard of.”

Jenny Southan, editor, founder and CEO of Globetrender

“I’ve been fascinated to see the latest external factors influencing how people book their holidays, and how behaviours have modified since our last report. At British Airways Holidays, we’re passionate about taking holidays seriously and we value getting to know our customers’ habits and interests, so we can give them the autonomy to create incredible memories, however they choose to holiday.”

Claire Bentley, Managing Director of British Airways Holidays
