It's almost the end of the year so it's time to look at the different trends for the new year. Pinterest also researched the travel trends for 2019; from atypical destinations to unusual (and more earth-friendly) modes of transport. We list them here.
Bus travel is all the rage: Whether it's a one-day tour or getting from Caracas to Patagonia, frugal travelers get on the bus.
Hot springs: People find recovery and relaxation in hot springs – from high-end resorts to nature.
Game of stones: Travelers beat the lines at Versailles and search for divine, abandoned and dilapidated castles.
No man's island: Well-known islands are no longer in! Instead, people head to less-traveled islands for that rare pura vida experience.
A good bike tour: Enthusiasts and casual cyclists alike are trying bike rides – plus, all that cardio means more food on the go.
Destination unknown: Gather a group, clear their calendars, keep the ending point unknown, and practice yelling “Surprise!”
Out-of-the-way cities: People are looking for small towns for their rural views, unique BnBs and quiet small hotels.
Don't waste: “Zero waste travel” means strategically and sustainably packing, eating and even staying overnight.
A beautiful autumn: Sipping hot cider, falling fall leaves… it's no wonder people fall for fall.
Oh Rio, Rio: the Summer Olympics may be over, but Rio still has the sand, the city, and the carnival.
