Top 65 Travel Trends in August

From Nationwide Scavenger Hunts to Gourmet Airplane Menus

Many of the top August 2015 travel trends speak to progressions in consumer desires and spending habits that can be observed across industries. As the sharing economy continues to ramp up, innovative programming from agencies working for the likes of Airbnb and Uber appear at the forefront of engaging brand campaigns that succeed in connecting with individuals on an emotional level.

From mobile apps specifically designed to provide targeted activity suggestions for individuals looking to kill time on a layover to high-end business class amenities kits from iconic brands like Cowshed, products and services are continually evolving to further entice brand loyalty.

As exemplified in a stunning viewing platform designed for the top of Amsterdam's oldest building, Oude Kerk (Old Church), by Japanese artist Tatsuro Atzu, there are plenty of August 2015 travel trends that will have you looking up affordable flights.
