Kuoni Reveals 2026 Travel Trends

Multi-Layered Holidays Take Centre Stage as Kuoni Reveals 2026 Travel Trends

British holidaymakers are planning more ambitious and multi-layered trips in 2026, according to Kuoni’s new Travel Reimagined report. Based on the company’s latest booking data, three major shifts are shaping how people travel this year: a sharp rise in multi-centre journeys, increased demand for shoulder-season travel, and a growing focus on intentional rest woven into longer itineraries. Travellers are seeking more contrast, more connection and more breathing space from their holidays, turning to expert, conversation-led planning to design trips that work seamlessly from start to finish.

Mark Duguid, Managing Director at Kuoni, said: “People want holidays that feel richer, more thoughtfully designed and perfectly balanced. Multi-centre travel is on the rise because travellers want variety — but also the reassurance that every part of their journey will work beautifully together. That’s where our travel experts make the difference. Customers really value having a real human in their corner with destination expertise and travel know-how who will be on hand to support them from the very first spark of a holiday idea to the moment they land back home.”
