Top 35 Travel Trends in September

From Barbie-Themed Luxury Suites to Rugby-Themed Getaways

— October 1, 2023 — World
From a real-life Barbie dreamhouse to an entire getaway in Dubai for rugby enthusiasts, the September 2023 travel trends prove that novel, one-of-a-kind experiences have never been in higher demand.

For several years now, pop culture-inspired Airbnbs have been capturing headlines and the attention of travelers. This year, Barbie was the inspiration behind many of these themed stays. One standout experience was the Beyond LIMITS BARBIE DREAM SUITE at Toronto's Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Hotel. This unique experience included a stay in a 1200 sq. ft. Barbie suite, Barbie Afternoon Tea, and custom Barbie-themed merchandise.

Of course, not all themed vacations revolve around pop culture. Another unique stay showcased by the September 2023 travel trends is the Fantasyland Hotel situated in Edmonton, Alberta's West Edmonton Mall. This unique hotel experience invites guests to turn travel into fantasy with decked-out rooms and innovative technology.
