Move over kale smoothies and anti-aging serums — the hottest new prescription for a longer, healthier life is a passport and a packed bag. According to Kayak.com’s new “What the Future Report,” Vitamin T (aka travel) is the wellness trend that’s about to change the way we vacation.
By 2030, travel won’t just be a luxury—it’ll be a legit health investment. “We’re not just booking trips anymore, we’re booking longevity,” says Kayak’s travel expert Kayla Inserra DeLoache. “Vitamin T is the age-defying treatment we never knew we needed.”
And the stats back it up. Wellness is front and center for today’s travelers, with pools, hot tubs, and spas ranking as top must-haves when choosing accommodations. So, where should you go to boost your well-being? Kayak’s top U.S. picks will have you feeling like a whole new you:
