Airbnb found that one in three travelers is taking vacations close to home. A recent FocalData survey showed 86% of all travelers\u2014and 94% of Gen Z\u2014are interested in exploring smaller regional towns.That interest is fueling visits to lesser-known small towns, which often have lower lodging costs than major tourist hubs and let visitors experience local character and natural scenery. Airbnb called out U.S. small towns alongside international spots that Gen Z is eyeing this summer, including Thailand\u2019s Surat Thani; Greece\u2019s Folegandros and Lefkada; Brazil\u2019s Ubatuba and Fortaleza; and Spain\u2019s Zaragoza and Santander.Interestingly, destinations that were popular with millennials in 2016 are resurfacing among Gen Z in 2026. But travelers aren\u2019t simply repeating old itineraries\u2014they\u2019re expanding trips to include nearby, lesser-known areas.Next year\u2019s FIFA World Cup in North America is also shaping summer travel demand. To attract visitors to host cities, Airbnb is pairing accommodations with local experience packages. The company says 77% of available listings in World Cup host cities are under $500 per night (approximately 666,667 KRW per night), and many experience packages are priced under $100 per person (approximately 133,333 KRW per person).An Airbnb spokesperson said, \u201cThis summer, travelers are choosing nearby destinations to enjoy their hobbies. Lesser-known places are standing out as affordable spots where people can have special, memorable experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer travel trends show a
