The Rise Of JOMO Travel

In a world where FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) has us frantically Instagramming every avocado toast, JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) travel is the new cool kid on the block. Imagine swapping crowded tourist traps for blissful solitude, where your only worry is whether to nap in a hammock or a hammock. Embrace the joy of doing absolutely nothing!

“In our always-on, perma-connected world, sometimes what we really seek is a place to switch off. To tune out from the noise and notifications; to take joy in letting life rush on somewhere over the horizon.

And as we’ve identified in our Unpack ’25 trends report, the right trip can help with that. In our research, 62% of travelers said staying in a serene rental would reduce their stress and anxiety, while a huge 85% said they would be interested in taking a vacation to unplug.”
