JAKARTA - Not felt, the calendar for 2024 is coming to an end and we will enter 2025. It's time to start planning a vacation to welcome 2025. If you are still confused about choosing a destination, Pinterest has released a list of destinations that are trending for 2025.

In early December, Pinterest released Pinterest Predicts' annual report, highlighting various major trends in the coming year. The report covers a wide range of fields, ranging from food, decoration, beauty, to party planning.

However, one of the main highlights is the travel trend that attracts Pinterest users. For 2025, Pinterest said that the travel trend will focus on 'peak travel' or traveling to mountainous areas.

Mountains Become Favorite Destinations

"Cities have peaked. By 2025, mountains will be the main destination when Gen Z and Gen X look for views from trees and fresh mountain air. Get ready for your next elevation holiday," reads a report from Pinterest, quoted by VOI from the Travel+ page on Friday, December 13, 2024.

According to Pinterest, Portillo in Chile became the destination with the largest search surge, up 255 percent compared to the previous year. Other destinations include Dolomites in Italy with an increase of 45 percent, and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, which increased by 30 percent.

Along with growing interest in holidays in the mountains, searches for 'skipping clothing' and 'mountar travel outfits' have also soared.

To support this trend, Pinterest is working with Marriott to bring in a pop-up in New York City called the 'Peak Travel Concierge'. There, visitors can ask what exactly is 'peak travel' and find more information about the destination that fits this trend.

In addition to traveling to the mountains, Pinterest also predicts the revival of the 'Castlecore' trend. This trend illustrates the appeal to the magnificent castles and the mid-century atmosphere.
