NYC to Paris and Back in a Day: The ‘Out-and-Back’ Travel Trend

Hi there,

The burgeoning obsession with out-and-back day trips might be the latest “it trend” in the travel industry’s incessant buzzword cycle—or perhaps an unconventional indicator of a coming recession. It could also reflect a growing reluctance to spend money on hotel rooms and multi-week journeys when travelers can experience their dream cities in just eight short hours.

Whatever the reason behind the trend, those seeking out such getaways are generating plenty of online fascination—to the tune of millions of views, likes, and comments asking for cost breakdowns and other details, all in hopes of replicating the micro-itineraries.
