Travel companies like Conde Nast Traveller and Booking.com have shared their 2025 travel trends(趋势). As noted by Booking.com, these rends show how people want to find meaningful experiences from each trip they take. _____①_____ The word “noctourism” comes from the words “nocturnal” and “tourism”. “Nocturnal” means happening at night. So, this trend is all about travelling at night. It sees travellers take part in things like stargazing(观星). As the world gets hotter, many people find it uncomfortable to go out during the day, especially in summer. They enjoy going to places to do fun activities in the cooler evenings. While most activities have something to do with the night sky, others happen on the ground, such as city tours at night and full moon picnics by the sea. _____②_____ Trying to live forever might be going a little too far. But our interest in living longer and healthier still stays young. In 2025, more people joined in activities that help them live longer. For example, people went to places that offer red light therapy(疗法) to visitors. The therapy uses red light to help make skin look better. “In the future, travel won’t just be about having fun. People will also care more about staying healthy,” Booking.com said. _____③_____ Sometimes when you are travelling, going a different way and finding cool places can be fun. Detour travel means going to smaller, less famous places around the main sites and spending time there. For example, the city of Reims is a popular detour from Paris, as is Santa Barbara from Los Angeles.
