What do a viral TikTok challenge, Taylor Swift, and a 27-country itinerary have in common? They all showed up in HOAM\u2019s data this past year. We pulled some of the more surprising and shareable trends from our users to see how people are traveling, and how often they\u2019re staying connected with HOAM along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Most Popular Destination\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Italy appears in 42% of all HOAM packages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the pasta, the piazzas, or the Pope, Italy remains one of the most popular tourist destinations.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. Most Popular Country Combo<\/b><\/p>\n

France, Italy, and Spain make up the most common country combination in all multi-country trips taken with HOAM, showing up in 18% of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Highly recommended for romantic travelers, art lovers, and food connoisseurs.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

3. Rarest Trip Itinerary\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

One user created a custom eSIM plan from Finland, Morocco, to Paraguay. Nordic fjords, Saharan sunsets, and South American adventure. A truly global itinerary crossing three continents with one eSIM.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4. The Most Ambitious Traveler<\/b><\/p>\n

A single Hoam user added 27 countries to one plan, covering 4 continents in 30 days with a brief data stopover in Antarctica via satellite relay. This user redefined \u201con the go\u201d \u2014 all without swapping a single SIM card.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

5. Biggest Spike from a Viral Moment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kazakhstan bookings jumped 320%, thanks to a viral TikTok challenge..<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

6. Most Skipped Country#1 (Sorry, Moldova)<\/b><\/p>\n

While Eastern Europe is trending, Moldova appears in just 0.03% of all plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wine country with zero Instagram hype. Someone fix this algorithm.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

7. Most skipped Country#2: Slovakia<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite being surrounded by popular destinations, Slovakia appeared in fewer than 0.1% of plans.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

8. Fastest-Growing Region<\/b><\/p>\n

The Balkans \u2014 especially Albania, Montenegro, and Serbia \u2014 saw a 150% increase in bookings compared to the previous quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

+ Affordable, scenic, and increasingly on travelers\u2019 radars.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Most Efficient Traveler<\/b><\/p>\n

Even short trips (under 10 days) included an average of 3.2 countries. One user visited 6 countries in just 5 days. No roaming fees and not a minute wasted.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

10. Top Reason for Multi-Country Plans<\/b><\/p>\n

64% of users built their HOAM plan around major events \u2014 from concerts and sports tournaments to music festivals and concerts.<\/span><\/p>\n

From our data, one of our HOAM users may have stopped to see Taylor Swift in Vienna, the Euro Cup in Munich, and Tomorrowland in Belgium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wherever your itinerary takes you, from the biggest hotspots to the most unexpected corners of the map, HOAM keeps you connected without the roaming fees or SIM card hassle. Check out HOAM eSIMs and stay focused on the journey, not the logistics.<\/span>
