It’s 2025, and your future awaits. Contrary to popular belief, your travels shouldn’t really be winding down after the holiday season–this is actually the perfect time to book your next trip.
So, stay inspired and consider these five travel resolutions for 2025. It’s destined to be an #abovepar year ahead.
1. Travel More
Whether you pursue your quest to be a travel writer or you just accepted a new job with unlimited PTO, this is your year. The only trips you’ll ever regret are the ones you didn’t take.

2. Travel Smarter
This is the year to plan ahead for boutique, unique, and exceptional experiences. Don’t go back to the easy option because you waited until the last minute. Start researching the 30 best boutique stays of the year now–and book them in advance. PS: You can now book with Hotels Above Par for unbeatable rates and VIP perks like complimentary breakfast, HAP gifts, and more.

3. Travel Comfortably
It’s 2025 and you have a lot of exploring to do. Say yes to the walking tours and adventurous trips, but do so with the right footwear. Pro tip: consider an all black sneaker that will disguise dust and airport grime from January through December and beyond.

4. Pack Better
Packing haphazardly will only set your first 2-hours in any destination off on the wrong foot. You don’t remember where you packed your intimates and won’t be able to untangle your belts from your boots. Washable packing cubes have changed the game. As a bonus, they’ll maximize the space in your carryon for all of your upcoming adventures.

5. Capture Cool Content
But remember that less is more. Live in the moment and rely on your film apps to jazz up the casual clips you captured by the beach. Or, throw your phone in your suitcase and rely on a Polaroid camera.
