Sleeping used to be merely a byproduct of travel; the thing we do at the end of the day, ideally in a cloud-like bed. Now, a good night’s sleep is becoming one of the key travel trends, with a new era of “sleep concierges”, AI-powered beds, and more.

More and more hotel brands are using the latest in sleep technology. Take Bryte mattresses, which use artificial intelligence to adjust body support and room temperature to maintain deep sleep, and which are now available in hotels across the US especially – from the Carillon Miami to the Four Seasons Beverly Hills and a special sleep suite at the Park Hyatt New York. Hästens, the well-known Swedish mattress producer, has gone even further, opening the Hästens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel in Coimbra, central Portugal, where everything – acoustics, sleep books, mattresses made with hypoallergenic horsehair – is designed for optimal shut-eye. It’s a similar idea at Chelsea’s smart Belmond Cadogan Hotel, where a ‘Sleep Concierge’ service includes a meditation by Harley Street hypnotherapist and sleep expert Malminder Gill, as well as a choice of weighted blankets, pillows, and pillow mists, all recommended based on the guest’s sleeping preferences, according to CNN Travel.

While 50% of those surveyed said that holiday investing remains their top priority, 68% continue to prioritize traveling while saving money.

Traveling without using or depending on public utilities, especially electricity and the Internet, may never be as sought after as in 2023. 44% of travelers want to return to basic living conditions and looking for a no-frills vacation to get away from reality, disconnect and live with the bare essentials.

Although this model of survival tourism is not so new, its popularity now reflects people’s growing interest in being able to protect themselves in the most extreme conditions. This trend also reflects a certain anxiety about the future.

More eco-tours are expected to meet the needs of city residents who lack connection with nature, as well as accommodation establishments offering suggestions for guests on how to live more self-sufficient. The number of wilderness survival schools is also expected to increase, where visitors will learn the skills needed to survive a disaster.
