The 2027 forecast highlights regions benefiting from improved flight access, updated visa policies or surging demand for authentic cultural connection. The list includes China, the Stans, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Dominica, the Seychelles, Greece and the Balkans.
China bookings jumped 67pc year-on-year following expanded visa-free entry, prompting G Adventures to launch nine new itineraries. Central Asia is booming with bookings up in Uzbekistan by 71pc and Kyrgyzstan by 27pc, becoming the top-booked region globally for the National Geographic Signature collection. Sri Lanka is more accessible with direct flight additions, prompting two new itineraries for 2027.
New Zealand is back in the spotlight as a major filming backdrop and is easier to explore thanks to Air New Zealand’s 2027 regional expansion. Dominica is shifting from cruise day trips towards immersive stays with a new international airport opening in 2027. The Seychelles offers a natural playground for active travellers.
