Press Release
A wave of new lifestyle trends is poised to redefine how people live, work, and connect. From wellness innovations to tech-inspired habits, these emerging shifts can offer fresh opportunities and perspectives.
Curious about the trends experts are predicting will shape the year ahead—and maybe make your own 2025 journey more meaningful?
Mindful movement
Consider mindful movement—a fitness trend that is redefining how people exercise.
Mindful movement is a practice that combines physical activity with mental focus. This means exercising body and mind at the same time by being conscious of your physical actions. Tai chi and yoga can be considered “mindful movement.” But you can also practice mindful movement by “mindful walking” or walking (for leisure or fitness) while being aware of what you are seeing, hearing, touching, and smelling.
Sleep tourism
This is a type of leisurely travel wherein you go to a new country or location with the intention of feeling relaxed and rested when you return home. It focuses on getting rejuvenating rest instead of laboring to tourist destinations. Sleep-focused holidays are one of the biggest trends in the travel industry.
With this, many hotels around the world are offering sleep-focused rooms and programs to accommodate travelers who want to get vacation rejuvenation—including comfortable beds, quiet environments, and even sleep-enhancing amenities and activities (such as yoga classes, sleep tracking, and consultations with a resident sleep doctor).
Plant-based food
Many food trends will remain a dominant force this year. This means you are likely to see “newstalgia” or the combination of the “news” with nostalgic food items in cooking—as inspiration for food items that are commercially available, whether in restaurants or supermarkets.
But sustainable dining will also continue to define how people eat in 2025. This is a practice of employing techniques and using ingredients that have the least negative impact on the environment. Manufacturers are now producing plant-based meat alternatives to everyday and popular food items.
This makes healthy eating easier to achieve. As it becomes easier to buy plant-based food items, consumers can expect these food items to be more appealing and better tasting, mimicking the texture and taste of animal meat.
