2023 TRAVEL HOT LIST:
TRENDS, DESTINATIONS & NEW HOTELS
When it comes to travel in 2023, the pros at Fora break it down to two words: bucket list.
“Wanderlust is at an all-time high,” said Fora’s co-founder Henley Vazquez, a career travel agent with 15+ years of experience. “This is the year to take that bucket list trip you’ve always dreamed about, whether it’s a multi-generational safari or solo adventure to Paris.”
2023 is also the year the early bird gets the worm. Advanced planning will be crucial, for any sort of trip. "With such high hotel demand and recent airline issues, 2023 vacations will need to be planned more than six months in advance,” Henley added.
Based on booking data from Fora's advisor community, as well as Henley’s expert intel, you can download Fora's 2023 Hot List for the trending destinations and hotels for 2023, or read on for a preview of my personal faves.
MALLORCA
The Balearic island was a community favourite in 2022, as the second most popular destination in Spain (next to Barcelona). With its buzzy beach clubs and Mediterranean magic, Mallorca is having even more of a moment in 2023
TODOS SANTOS
Mexico is a star destination in the Fora community, as the second most-booked country for 2022 (after the US). For 2023, Mexico’s Todos Santos offers a new type of getaway south of the border.
“This breezy coastal village is everything its flashy neighbor, Cabo San Lucas, is not — which is exactly why we love it,” said Henley. “Todos Santos has that gorgeous desert climate, minus the high rises, plus a thriving gallery scene and some special, authentic hotels.”
ITALY
While perennial favorites, Italy and France, were two of Fora’s most-booked destinations of 2022 (by far), 2023 is poised to be better than ever for European travel. “Europe is as hot as ever, and there are tons of big hotel openings (and reopenings) in glamorous cities this year,” Henley said.
In the Eternal City, top brands are laying down roots: The Rome Edition, Six Senses Rome, Intercontinental and Nobu Roma are all opening this year.
