It was such a treat traveling to the Cotswolds this year and it’s no wonder why it’s part of Expedia’s 2026 Destinations of the Year— a list of travel-worthy places that go beyond typical tourist spots and is geared toward more meaningful travel.
Not only is the Cotswolds a gorgeous and unique area fit for a storybook, it also meets the standards for Expedia’s Smart Travel Health Check, which spotlights places that are actively managing tourism sustainably, inspired by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) six sustainability principles.
This dreamy place has quickly become one of our favorite places we’ve traveled to this year. Check out the full list and Expedia’s other predictions for the next biggest travel trends in their Unpack ’26 report at the link in bio. #UnpackTravelTrends
