The End of the Trend for “Lifetime Trips”? New Report Shows a Trend Shift

According to the authors of the report, instead of making pilgrimages to the famous culinary capitals of the world, we will focus on lesser-known and definitely less crowded locations. This is supported not only by curiosity about new places, but also by financial considerations.

According to the latest study by Panterra, used by Airbnb experts, 47 percent, or almost half of surveyed travelers, prefer authentic local cuisine. The cities that most respondents plan to visit include Alassio in Italy, Rotterdam and Chiclana de la Frontera in Andalusia. Outside the Old Continent, these include Belo Horizonte in Brazil, Shillong in India, Marloth Park in South Africa, Arakawa in Japan, Rawai in Thailand, Santa Teresita in Argentina and Oneonta in New York State.

Airbnb Report: Food and Event Tourism on the Rise

Airbnb's report also shows that the trend of having one-of-a-kind experiences that will be remembered for the rest of your life is still present among travelers. These, specifically events with sports and music stars, are strong reasons to pack a backpack and hit the road this year.

Starting with Europe, one such event will be the Oasis concert in Manchester on July 7. More than 500 percent more users searched for accommodation in the city around this date compared to the same period last year.

Across the pond, Houston, Texas, is causing a sensation, with two concerts by singer Beyoncé at the end of June. Interest in lodging in the area has increased by over 620 percent. Another star, Shakira, will visit Charlotte, New York, in May, but in her case, significantly fewer fans were looking for lodging, because "only" over 200 percent more than a year ago.

In Chile, meanwhile, Beyoncé and Shakira's colleague, Australian Kylie Minogue, is making a splash. August's concerts in Santiago have led to an 85 percent increase in interest in overnight stays in the city. Meanwhile, in Minogue's homeland, Australia, overnight stays in Perth, where the State of Origin Rugby tournament will be held in June, have increased by over 250 percent.
