Overview
- Quieter nature destinations are emphasized, exemplified by El Hierro, a UNESCO biosphere reserve with low visitor numbers and notable renewable‑energy performance.
- Early planning in January is advised to secure availability and prices, particularly for Mediterranean and Alpine trips where June and September can offer better value in places like Sardinia.
- Long‑haul demand focuses on Japan and Peru, with Peru supported by new airport connections and updated visitor‑management across Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, the Inca Trail and Cusco.
- Outdoor itineraries and self‑drive routes gain traction, spanning Oman’s wadis, Morocco’s deserts, Montenegro’s mountains and Australia’s coastal drives.
- Domestic draws in Germany include Frankfurt’s World Design Capital program and the Ahrtalbahn’s restored regular service for hikers, alongside A3M’s Risk Map noting Europe largely in low‑risk categories.
