This is how we will be travelling in 2026: fashions, events and Ai everything that will end up in our suitcases

The year 2026 is just around the corner and the travel sector will change its skin a little, once again, influenced by new habits taking the place of old customs, but also by the effects of climate change, the spread of artificial intelligence and international sporting events. Travel between Christmas and the Epiphany marks an interesting growth for organised Italian tourism in terms of revenues and passengers, thanks above all to the long range (according to the Astoi Confindustria Viaggi Observatory, the Association representing tour operators at national level) and forecasts are also positive for the months to come, beyond the peak of the holidays. Advance bookings are now a constant (70% of the total) and experiential holidays and customised tours will be increasingly popular, with digital technologies and the sustainability factor playing a growing role in travel choices and inspirations.
