Travel trends 2023: Discover what Ibiza visitors rave about

The tourism sector is constantly changing to match needs and expectations. No other industry is expected to update at the speed of tourism, when we consider the need for real estate, enormous transport links and passport controls to keep up with demand! But it is a two-way street: just as economic, social and environmental factors set the course for travel trends in 2023, so can trends from Ibiza impact the world of its guests – by sending them home rested, relaxed and invigorated.

Forecasts for trips in 2023 are very positive. Any limitations previously imposed by the coronavirus pandemic have been lifted and travel continues to be a priority for Europeans, from where most of Ibiza’s visitors come each year. 

Studies to predict travel trends in 2023, carried out in 2022, reveal a hopeful outlook for travel in 2023. The United Kingdom alone accounts for a third of visitors to Ibiza, which means more than a million per year and in 2023, numbers are expected to match those pre-pandemic.

Study results suggest that 86% of Spaniards surveyed plan to travel in 2023, while 43% plan to take more trips than in 2022.

Sustainability on the rise 

If there is one marked trend for 2023, it is that of sustainability. Environmental aspects influence the eco-conscious traveller as they organise getaways: 2 in 5 survey respondents said they avoided a certain destination due to scepticism over commitment to sustainable practices.

In this sense, Ibiza and the Government of the Balearic Islands have been aware of this reality for some time. Therefore, the authorities constantly work on applying new regulations that monitor and regularise the island’s commitment to sustainable tourism and ecotourism. 

One clear example is a new law on tourism proposed by the Government of the Balearic Islands, the Law for Circularity and Sustainability in Tourism. It seeks to turn the tourism sector into an engine of positive change for the whole society, and especially for the environment.

If you need further proof of Ibiza’s commitment and interest in eco-tourism, note that the island achieved second place in the list of "the best destinations in the world for sustainable holidays", only behind the Greek island of Rhodes. This is an achievement that has been many decades in the making, and a credit to hotels, restaurants, and residents alike.

Enjoy unique experiences in Ibiza 

The year 2023 is expected to be marked by the 2023 trend of living premium experiences during holiday periods with a high level of demand.

With this type of demand for 2023, Ibiza will take on a special role. It is one of the busiest destinations in Europe due to its excellent holiday quality and for offering first-class international attention and services.
