The world’s travel preferences are constantly shifting and evolving, with people travelling further afield to more exotic destinations and often shunning more traditional holiday destinations.
We’ve used data from Google Trends, which shows the popularity of search queries over time, to analyse how some of the world’s most popular destinations have grown and fallen in popularity over the last decade.
There are some interesting results, but overall we can see that holidaymakers are definitely considering travelling further afield, to places that they perhaps wouldn’t have considered a few years ago, such as South East Asia, India and the Middle East, while the likes of France and Spain have both suffered a decline in interest (of course, they’re still among the most popular destinations in the world though).
