Top 25 Travel Trends in October

From Sustainable All-Electric RVs to

From green RVs to sustainable hiking packs, the October 2021 travel trends reveal that consumers are finding ways to make domestic travel a little more eco-friendly.

With the pandemic not yet over, many consumers are still prioritizing domestic travel over international vacations. On top of that, the October 2021 travel trends reveal that consumers are also looking for options to make these close-to-home trips a little more eco-friendly. For instance, the outdoor gear brand Osprey recently unveiled its 'Osprey Heritage Collection,' which was made with sustainability in mind. All the bags were crafted using eco-friendly production practices, and each pack was made using the brand's original burley fabric and recycled nylon.

And it's not just travel gear going green. American adventure camping vehicle manufacturer SylvanSport recently teamed up with Zeus Electric Chassis to reveal its first-ever all-electric RV concept.
