Travelers Seek Resort-Style Leisure in New Destinations

Travelers are increasingly seeking leisure experiences in less-crowded and more affordable destinations, such as the Albanian Riviera, Malta, and Sardinia, which offer authentic attractions and avoid the over-tourism of more famous European hotspots. New resort projects like Jamaica's Paradise Park are being developed with an emphasis on balancing tourism and ecological preservation, while luxury properties such as Mexico's Rosewood Mandarina are earning international acclaim. In the U.S., hospitality venues continue to upgrade outdoor amenities, including revamped pools, expanded cabana options, and sophisticated rooftop bars in places like Long Island, Las Vegas, and Table Mountain Casino Resort. In the UK, destinations like Devon's South Beach Cafe are increasingly compared to Mediterranean hotspots, offering vibrant seaside experiences. These trends reflect a global shift towards immersive, resort-style leisure in both traditional and emerging travel markets.
