With the holiday season just five months away, Expat Explore, a leading group tour operator, is highlighting a significant shift in travel trends for the upcoming season. The company predicts that travelers will opt for warmer destinations, longer trips, and more meaningful experiences, marking a departure from traditional holiday travel patterns. According to Carl Cronje, co-founder of Expat Explore, this shift represents a new era of intentional international travel where the emphasis is on smarter, value-driven journeys to destinations offering summer weather during the winter months.

Expat Explore’s Christmas in July forecast outlines three key trends that will define the holiday travel season: extended holiday experiences, value-conscious planning, and a surge in shoulder season travel. The company recommends tours such as the South Africa Escape Tour, Highlights of Morocco Tour, and the Cape Town and Garden Route Tour for those looking to escape the cold. Jakes Maritz, another co-founder, notes the increasing popularity of tours to South Africa and South America among American customers, driven by a desire for more meaningful and sun-filled holidays.

Travel experiences are also becoming a preferred gift choice, with Expat Explore advising potential gift-givers to consider seasonal preferences, accessibility, value, and cultural immersion. The company prides itself on offering stress-free, cost-transparent travel options that cater to a wide range of interests, from European winter wonderlands to African safaris. For those seeking traditional holiday experiences, Expat Explore provides 7 to 14-day tours across Europe and the UK, including the Europe Taster Christmas Tour and the Spain Portugal Christmas Tour.
