A poll of travel industry experts has revealed its top trends for the coming year, reports USA Today.
The hot topics for 2008 will include greener hotels, more cruises, gastro-tourism and "see-it-before-its-gone" trips, the panel predict.
Marian Marbury of the women-only tour outfit Adventures in Good Company explains the latter.
"I'm hearing more people say, 'I want to climb [Tanzania's] Kilimanjaro now, while it still has glaciers.'"
She also predicts a rise in "voluntourism", with people hoping to holiday in a sustainable way that has a minimal negative environmental and cultural effect on the destinations.
In other areas, travel agent spokesperson Steve Loucks predicts a rise in travel to far-flung destinations such as Nicaragua.
His prediction is supported by recent findings from the Office for National Statistics that the UK has seen an eight per cent increase in travel to countries outside of Europe and North America.
