The hills were alive with the sound of Local Foreigner clients this year, as Switzerland eked its way into our top ten most-booked countries, anchored by skiers heading to Gstaad, Zermatt, and St. Moritz. But travelers weren’t skipping the cities on the way to the slopes, and Lucerne, Geneva, and Zurich also got their fair share of love.

8. Spain

Our top 2025 Travel Trend prediction, Spain jumped up two spots on the list this year, driven by major demand for the Balearic Islands, with Mallorca leading the way. Local Foreigner clients stayed in 15 different hotels on an island that’s less than 50 miles long.

5. Greece

Greece jumped three spots from 2025’s list, and while clients stayed in hotels on ten different Greek islands in 2025, that doesn’t tell the whole story - it’s also one of the most popular destinations to explore via yacht, which allows for flexibility to explore smaller islands, picturesque stretches of coast, and quiet inlets far from the crowds of the major Cycladic beach clubs.

4. Mexico

Local Foreigner clients spent a lot of time on Mexican beaches this year, with Riviera Maya, Punta Mita, Cabo, and Tamarindo taking the top four spots, but they soaked up culture as well as sun in Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, and Oaxaca as well.

From the Alps of Courchevel, Le Miroir, Val D'Isere, Megeve, and Chamonix to the wine regions of Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhône, and all over both coasts (including more than a thousand nights in Provence and the Côte d’Azur), Local Foreigner clients had France covered this year.
