20 Big Travel Trends in 2023

My forecast of the big trends that will affect your travel in 2023. From higher prices for flights and hotels there are plenty of negative trends here. But it’s not all bad! I’ll also share some really good trends to look forward to including inexpensive Europe travel and the return of long term travel planning.

Yes, I recently missed out on the Diamond Head hike. Learned about the reservation system while I was there. I had two more days there that I could do it on, but when I went online, all of the reservayion slots were full.
Saved money on rental car by renting for only the days I needed it and not for the whole trip (and also not having to pay outrageous hotel parking fees). Also was $15 cheaper to park the car overnight at the Waikiki Parking Garage than at the hotel.

Excellent video. We have noticed some of these trends too, and feel the same as you that elite status isn't worth it anymore. Looking forward to your video on your Palm Springs stay. We have stayed at JW Marriott in Palm Springs and can't wait to see your review. Look forward to seeing more of your Bunny ! Thanks Chris

When the QR code trend first came out during covid era, my old phone's camera didn't automatically pull up those damn codes so I either had to get up and ask for a physical menu or wait for server to come back to ask for one.

Great video -I’ve noticed some of these trends already. In particular, cruising seems to have become increasingly popular for leisure travel and with digital nomads. (They also often provide a great value for regional and intra-continental travel.)

My recent experience is also that luxury and ultra-luxury hotels are often fully booked weeks in advance, never mind the cost!

Great video. I saw some of these trends in the past 2022. I’ve been in Italy last summer and everything was base on QR codes and reservation! The problem is: you’re in the countryside and there’s no phone reception to scan the QR code or buy tickets! I had At&T and an Italian carrier and both had no reception.
Last Christmas in Asheville, I made the mistake of choosing a last time at a Hilton hotel! They’re policy now is cleaning room every 4 days. The problem is: they pet friendly on a carpet floor, there was not a towel change or replacements of kitchen garbage trash or toilet paper! This does not work for my family and from now on I’ll call ahead and ask about cleaning. Or I just go ahead and book an entire house. What’s the point to to on vacation and expect not having any service!
Your content is amazing! I used to be a professor for hospitals industry and I would give you a solid A+!

Boston- daughter in college there. We like the historic Omni Parker House Hotel where you can see on display the actual door that was used by Charles Dickens when he stayed there (they renovated the building a little since then but they kept the door along with lots of other cool historical items and photographs- JFK announced candidacy there. )For a more modern stay- Kimpton 9-0 one block down from there. Food- The Elephant and Castle for British food and The Beantown Pub for good old American food! Great video Chris!

Thanks for the information. The only cost effective way to fly from Brisbane to Tokyo was going indirectly via Singapore, double the flight time but halves the price. I think direct flights being very expensive will be a trend!

Very informative! Also the thumbnail is great!! Very colorful, engaging and slick. Keep up the good work.

Sad to hear that Hawaii is now following Vegas with Resort fees, I'm heading their for the first time this June and hotel prices near the beach are super expensive (as someone from UK) already.

34:56 lol chris you are full of surprises

[stargazer]

Chris you're such a nice guy...this drawing freaks me out!

[rickellis]

We really would rather not have the room cleaned everyday. As long as the hotel will offer clean towel, sheets soap etc. when asked. I also think consumers are creating travel inflation. To many seam to be willing to pay anything to go on vacation. Willing to accept lower service or no service at all. So they should not be surprised that prices go up.

[sunnyscott]

I am sorry, but I just can't relate to most of the issues that you view as "problems ". You're absolutely living in rare air. I have never called down for body wash or been disappointed because there was no robe in the closet. Never once have I told the desk clerk that I am a " light sleeper."
I don't need a special quiet room. I just want a place to pass out after a long flight ✈️.

Driving in Boston cra cra lol
I’m from Boston planning to head to la. So, sounds like I will not have a problem driving there?

CONCLUSION: They demand more, give you far less, and charge you much more! Lucky us!
