Listeners, even in mid-February, the buzz on summer 2026 escapes is electric, with fresh reports dropping this week alone. Her World just revealed seven game-changing trends shaking up how we chase that perfect getaway. Glow-mads are everywhere, darling, with travelers crafting trips around beauty havens, like French pharmacies or Korean skincare spots, and Gen Z leading at nearly one in three planning it.

Family miles are bonding generations, with four in ten Singaporeans plotting multigen trips to connect and celebrate elders.

Euronews nailed it this week too, crowning welcoming gems like Hidalgo in Mexico for its basalt canyons and Harrogate in England for spa pampering, plus coolcation hotspots like Galicia in Spain and Vestland in Norway to dodge heatwaves and crowds. Mabrian data shows northern Europe surging, with shoulder seasons stealing the show over sweaty Julys. Family Vacationist piled on with timely picks like Iceland's endless daylight and whale watches, Pigeon Forge's Dollywood thrills amid Smoky Mountains, or Cancun's whale shark swims for all ages.

Social feeds are lit with second-city switches to beat overtourism, per Omio's 21 percent shift to authentic spots.
