The travel behavior of Romanians will transform in 2026. The spontaneous decisions of Romanian tourists are gaining more and more ground.

In 2026, the travel behavior of Romanians changes, with an increase in demand and last-minute bookings, which have risen by over 65% during peak periods. According to data from Kiwi.com, total bookings have increased by 54% compared to the previous year, and the number of passengers by 48.4%. Last-minute bookings, made 0-7 days before departure, saw the largest increases, especially in March.

Although early booking remains relevant, with an increase of over 40% for trips booked 1-3 months in advance, the 91-120 days segment recorded a slower growth. This trend suggests a preference for flexibility, with travelers keeping their options open. Thus, in 2026, both booking styles coexist, but last-minute bookings gain ground faster, defining a dynamic travel landscape.
