Kaleido Intelligence’s latest International Travel research provides an updated view of inbound, outbound and corridor-level travel trends, helping roaming vendors, mobile operators, connectivity providers and travel service providers understand how global mobility patterns are changing.

Based on the latest travel data and regional developments, the research assesses expected travel volumes in 2026 and provides revised forecasts through to 2030. It covers specific inbound and outbound markets, key destinations and tourism trends and major outbound corridors, with an Excel update to Kaleido’s H2 2025 outbound travel forecast data at regional, country and corridor levels.
