Skyscanner has released its “Travel Trends 2026” report, highlighting the cultural forces and emerging behaviors that will define how Gen Z travels next year. Drawing from millions of searches and global consumer insights, the report shows how Gen Z’s digital fluency, identity-driven choices, and experience-first mindset are reshaping the future of travel.
Their tech-first approach also sets them apart. Gen Z is the generation most likely to use AI for destination inspiration, itinerary building and booking, with nearly three quarters expressing confidence using AI tools to guide their 2026 travel decisions.
