YEAR IN TRAVEL

HOW SOUTH AFRICANS TRAVELLED
FLIGHT CENTRE’S YEAR IN TRAVEL 2025:
HOW SOUTH AFRICANS TRAVELLED - AND WHAT’S COMING NEXT
If we had to sum up South Africa’s 2025 travel mood in a single word, it would be...UNSTOPPABLE.
If you thought last year was big for travel, 2025 said, “Hold my passport!” We saw regional travel go through
the roof, cruising continued it’s comeback, and there’s a significantly refreshed interest in touring.
And, for most of us this year, travel simply felt more mindful. Saffas booked with purpose, often prioritising
value, well-being, and time with friends or family above everything else. In fact, nearly three-quarters of us
skipped paying for something else just to fund that all-important getaway.
If there’s one thing we know about our South African clients for sure, it’s that travel isn’t just something you
do… it’s who you are.
So, fasten your seat
