The way Britain travels is changing. ✈️
We’ve just launched the Vision One Travel Brand Barometer 2026, revealing the UK’s Top 50 travel and tourism brands and the changing behaviours shaping where, how and why we travel.
And some of the findings reveal just how quickly the travel landscape is evolving.
Despite assumptions about younger travellers, price is the single most important holiday factor for just 23% of Gen Z and Millennials, compared with 31% of Gen X and Baby Boomers. Younger travellers appear to be looking for more from their money, rather than simply looking to spend less.
🤖 51% of Gen Z have already used AI tools such as ChatGPT to help plan a holiday, compared with just 9% of Baby Boomers.
🌍 39% of Gen Z say adventure travel is becoming more appealing, versus only 13% of Baby Boomers.
From airlines and tour operators to hotels, cruise lines and booking platforms, the Travel Brand Barometer provides a snapshot of which brands are building awareness, consideration, relevance and momentum in an increasingly competitive market.
Who’s leading? Who’s gaining momentum? And how is the next generation changing travel?
Based on independent research with 3,000 UK consumers, the Barometer goes beyond awareness to explore Brand Equity, Brand Strength and our proprietary Brand Momentum metric, helping identify not only the brands leading today, but those showing signs of future growth.
