TRAVEL NEWS – January 16, 2024: The booking season for travel in 2024 has started and now major parties such as TUI and Corendon share their first figures with the most booked trips and holidays in the first week of 2024 (here from TUI, here from Corendon), we get a good idea of the new holiday trends.
Yet we have to look broader than just two of the largest travel providers in the Netherlands. Sophisticated world travelers are more often looking for distant and unique destinations. These are often destinations that the two aforementioned parties do not have on offer. It is therefore interesting to compare the most popular destinations of Corendon and TUI with our figures, the figures of Wereldreizigers.nl.
Which trips will be popular among our readers in early 2024? Which travel providers are popular? What are the most popular destinations of the moment? You can read all about it in this article.

The top 3 of the 5 most popular destinations booked at the beginning of 2024 are destinations where we (Wereldreizigers.nl) have been in recent years.

Closing comments
Readers and followers of Wereldreizigers.nl like to go to distant destinations. A grand tour through Namibia, New Zealand, America, Bali or Peru is on many people's bucket lists. Yet Europe remains as popular as ever and Madeira and Sweden in particular are doing very well among our readers. Norway also seems to be gaining more and more popularity, but just missed out on the top 5.
We are therefore curious about what the future will bring. Which dream destination is at the top of your list to visit in 2024?
