This was officially ranked the worst travel trend of 2023

As the world finally shed the last of pandemic-related border restrictions and requirements, the last year was a particularly big one when it came to travel. Airports around the world struggled to contain the rush of people taking long-awaited trips while, in the U.S., spending on outgoing travel surpassed what was spent in 2019 by more than $2 billion. Airlines have also responded to the demand both by increasing its service to major cities such as London and launching new routes to destinations like Mexico's Tulum and Portugal's Faro amid skyrocketing popularity.Related: 'Airline considers it stealing': Flight attendant describes sneaky things travelers do As every year, frequent travelers and influencers have also popularized certain ways of travel that contributed to overtourism or otherwise rubbed many the wrong way. In its ranking of "10 Terrible Travel Trends That We Do Not Want To See In 2024," Fodor's Travel Guide placed "traveling like a local" at the very top. Travelers jump into blue water off a boat. DisobeyArt/Shutterstock What is 'traveling like a local' (and why actual locals hate it) The trend can best be described as the growing traveler interest to "not look like a tourist" and visit places where other tourists are not going in order to appear more cultured. Google Trends (GOOGL) - Get Free Report searches for "how not to look like a tourist" soared throughout the year while the New York Times published multiple articles about how not to look like one in New York, Paris or while wearing certain shoes. More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane "Accept that you don't have the local knowledge of the place you're visiting and that locals have a different outlook formed on a much deeper understanding of a place than you do," Scott Laird writes in the ranking. Other annoying "travel behaviors" singled out by the travel guide publisher include calling any and all vacations as a type of "moon" (not just honeymoon but also "babymoon," "solomoon" and "buddymoon") and shaming other tourists' choice to go to major attractions instead of off-the-beaten-path destinations.These other travel behaviors were rated as particularly annoying "It's unnecessary to yuck someone else's yum in the travel space," Laird writes. "If someone's excited about going to Paris, don't decry it as a tourist trap. If they're raving about the safari they went on, saying it was 'too Americanized' probably isn't the most tactful response." The authors also poked fun at TikTok-popular terms like "destination dupes" which compare a smaller city with a larger and more expensive one while ignoring the things that make each worth visiting in its own right along with over-reliance on bucket lists. They also called out "gawker tourists" who went to Hawaii just to see the devastation caused by the deadly wildfires that completely destroyed the historic town of Lahaina. The AI-written guidebooks that started to appear on the internet in the early part of 2023 also caught Fodor's attention. Many were later uncovered to be scams that were pulled from Wikipedia entries but presented as being written by humans in order to get people going to certain places to buy them. "These guidebooks, shoddily written with AI from information pulled from the internet (and not verified or fact-checked), have proliferated and made travel planning more confusing for travelers, and it's time they go," writes Laird.

*Higher rents are associated with higher mortality rates*

Is high rent hazardous to your health? A new study by Princeton University sociologists and Census Bureau analysts indicates that it may well be. The study appears in the January issue of Social Science & Medicine. As for the numbers, someone whose rent totaled 50% of his/her income in 2000 was 9% more likely to die over the next 20 years than someone shelling out 30% of his/her income for rent, the study says. Those who paid 70% of their income for rent had it even worse, showing a 12% higher likelihood of death than those forking over 30%. We’re constantly reminded of ways in which poor people’s health is threatened more than the rich – from tainted drinking water to lack of access to high-quality medical care.The Silver Lining for Rents When it comes to rents at least, there is some good news. In November, the median U.S. rent fell year over year for the seventh month in a row — 0.6% for studio to two bedroom properties, according to Realtor.com. The median rent of $1,717 dipped $12, or 0.7%, from October. Unfortunately that rent was only $59, or 3.3%, below the record level of $1,776 in July 2022. And it was $313, or 22.3%, higher than the pre-pandemic level four years earlier. Still, “renters are finally catching a break,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist of real estate brokerage Redfin. “Better deals are easier to come by because landlords are doling out concessions and rents have started falling in a meaningful way.”Rising Supply In addition, “rising supply means renters have more good options to choose from,” he said. “With homeownership so expensive, renting has started to lose its stigma.” Not everyone expects the positive trend to continue, however. “Permits for new construction are lower, which means that the boom in supply that has brought rents down in some markets will likely slow in 2024, which could put upward pressure on rents again,” Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS, a real estate information service, told USA Today. The seasonally-adjusted annual rate of residential building permits dropped 2.5% in November to 1.46 million from 1.5 million in October. That includes single-family homes and apartment buildings. So it’s hard to know exactly which way rents are headed.

*U.S. home prices hit all-time high in October*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Wednesday, December 27th.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: I’m J.D. Durkin - reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up 111 points, the Nasdaq closed up fractionally, and the S&P closed also closed fractionally higher. Markets are looking to close out the year in the green as the S&P 500 inches toward a record high. Investors are looking ahead to jobless claims out Thursday. This is the final labor report of 2023 and will give markets a clearer picture of how the job market is faring heading into the new year. Turning to real estate - the latest data shows the housing market is still a mess for prospective home buyers. U.S. home prices rose again in October, marking the ninth straight month of increases. Data from the new S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller US National Home Price Index tracked home prices in 2023 from August through October. And, despite interest rates increasing by almost a full percent over the three-month period, historically low inventory continued to drive up home prices by 0.6 percent - and prices are up almost 5 percent year-over-year. As usual, some places have it tougher than others. The new data shows Detroit seeing the largest annual increase at 8.1 percent. It’s followed by San Diego and New York - but coming in at just over a 7 percent gain. The Midwest and Northeast are, overall, the fastest-growing regions in the country. And despite interest rates falling to their lowest level since June, CoreLogic expects home prices to continue to reach new highs in 2024. That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.
