August 5, 2026
Travel trends rarely move in a straight line. This summer, FINN Partners’ Global Travel Team rounded up the shifts catching travelers’ attention and reshaping how luxury and lifestyle hospitality brands show up for them.
Inside the report, you will get a first look at:
- Craftwork. Why travelers are trading tours for hands-on time with local artisans, and what that means for how hotels are building itineraries.
- Fellowships on the Road. Solo travel is booming, but the providers meeting this moment are not always going at it alone either.
- Grounded Escapism. A growing appetite for disconnecting fully, and the luxury properties leaning into stillness over stimulation.
- Luring Locals for Loyalty. Why some of the smartest hospitality plays are not aimed at tourists at all.
- The Unbothered Traveler. How regional uncertainty is reshuffling where the world’s highest spenders choose to go next.
Dive into the full report to get a look at the data, real insights from FINN’s travel experts, and the brands putting these trends into practice.
