With this in mind, it’s interesting to check out Airbnb‘s list of the top trending staycation destinations for 2021. These aren’t necessarily the most popular destinations overall, but the ones that are seeing the biggest increase in search traffic. Basically, if these holiday spots aren’t big yet, they definitely will be.
Amanda Cupples, general manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb, said of the list: “Our trending destinations show that travel this year is likely to be a little different, with many using a summer closer to home to explore lesser-known rural destinations in addition to the well-loved favourites.”
