Travelers on Plantrip.io mapped out 101 new itineraries in the past 24 hours, pointing decisively toward Japan’s cultural corridor, Canada’s Rockies, and the Caribbean’s ABC Islands. Plans skew toward scenic journeys, family-friendly escapes, and tightly managed budgets, with many trips timed for late spring and early summer.
Japan leads the long-haul wish list, with repeated 11-day film-friendly routes starting and ending in Osaka and covering Kyoto, Mount Fuji, and Tokyo. Multiple travelers also plotted late-March arrivals into Tokyo’s Haneda, prioritizing rail-based movement and classic sights from Shibuya to Fuji viewpoints. Shorter Asia city breaks gained traction too, including five-day Seoul stays and concise Hong Kong getaways—some optimized for low-cost dining and transit.
North American nature is firmly in focus: several weeklong Banff plans from Arizona emphasized a sub-$6,500 ceiling, while an 8–9 day Seattle-to-San Diego coastal drive highlighted safe city stopovers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and along Oregon’s shoreline. In Europe, two-week Italy circuits centered on Pompeii, Naples, Rome, and Florence, while Austria itineraries favored mountain regions over big cities. A 10-day Greece outline and a Zurich round-trip through Switzerland’s marquee sights rounded out continental favorites.
The ABC Islands emerged as the standout beach escape. Multiple eight-day requests—often under $1,300 with four-star stays—threaded evening flights between Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. Must-do stops included Renaissance Island’s flamingos, Aruba’s California Lighthouse and Aloe Factory, hidden-bay hikes to Playa Gipy and Watamula, Willemstad city exploring, windsurfing at Bonaire’s Lac Bay, and dedicated snorkel trips.
Closer to home for South Asian travelers, India routes were abundant and specific: temple-centric arcs across Tamil Nadu and Kerala (timed to Chottanikkara’s Bharani festival), budget-friendly coastal breaks to Gokarna and Murudeshwar with scuba, and Rajasthan city chains from Udaipur to Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer on tight budgets. Family-forward plans spanned Kerala’s backwaters, Karnataka hill stations, and multi-stop treks through Coorg, Wayanad, Ooty, Munnar, Thekkady, and Alappuzha. Southeast Asia remained steady with Thailand, Malaysia (including Penang and the Perhentian Islands on modest budgets), Bali family weeks, and a detailed four-day Perhentian island escape.
Other notable patterns included a multi-day West Coast road map from Seattle to San Diego, an 18–21 day New Zealand North–South Island adventure with hiking and biking, solo urban time in Rotterdam, Taipei museum-and-beach combos (with Chinese-language preferences), and long-form cultural itineraries in Moscow. Meanwhile, niche requests—like winery weekends in the Poconos and Maryland, Orlando on under $100 per day for a milestone birthday, and a carefully routed UK postcode tour—underscored a broader push for tailored, experience-first travel planning.
