"Neon lights are burning a little brighter along Route 66, which celebrates its centenary this year. Vintage motel and diner signs have been restored to their mid-century brilliance at the new Route 66 Neon Park in St Robert, Missouri. Celebrations planned along the 945-mile road include those in Springfield, Missouri, host of the Route 66 Centennial National Kick-Off in April; the Capital Cruise in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in May, a world record attempt for the largest ever classic car parade;"
Travel in 2026 centers on a wide range of events, openings and experiences across the globe. Route 66 marks its centenary with restored neon signs, new neon park installations and multiple commemorative festivals and car events along the 945-mile route. Mexico City sees major hotel launches timed with World Cup matches, including new luxury entries in Roma Norte and along Paseo de la Reforma. The year also offers rare astronomical experiences such as the August 12 solar eclipse and high-end itineraries like inaugural luxury train journeys across Saudi Arabia, alongside cultural and boutique accommodation revivals.
