The top destinations and booking trends!

The list of holiday destinations most frequently booked by Germans shows Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Istanbul at the top! Bookings to Germany show that Spain and France's citizens come first, with Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt the most sought-after cities. Travelers continue to show a particular interest in city trips, with short trips being the trend: 29% of Germans prefer 3 to 4-day stays and early bookers are increasingly asserting themselves against last-minute trips.

A notable increase can also be seen in the travel destinations that are becoming increasingly popular: Turin and Hurghada each see an increase of 32%, while Graz follows with 31% - a real sunny sky has opened up here! Search queries for exotic travel destinations such as Bangkok have multiplied compared to the previous year, which shows that Germans' thirst for adventure remains strong. Dana Dunne, CEO of eDreams ODIGEO, is sure: travel trends are diverse and exciting, and the role of social media and personalization of offers will redefine travel in the coming years!
