Travelers may spend their vacation as a time to rest and reset, while others may take the opportunity to indulge in fun. 

And more people appear to be taking trips that are alcohol-free, transforming the way in which hotels cater to guests.

At the Pasea Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach, California, the staff has seen a 25% year-over-year increase in non-alcoholic beverage sales.

"As we see a growing focus on healthier lifestyle choices from travelers, the surgeon general’s recent warning highlights the evolving expectations within the hospitality industry," Pasea Regional General Manager Paul Maddison told Fox News Digital.

Maddison added, "We believe the industry as a whole will continue to innovate in ways that prioritize both health and high-quality experiences."

Earlier this month, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a new advisory linking alcohol to seven different types of cancer.

"Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States," said Murthy in the advisory.

He added that the majority of Americans are unaware of this risk.   

Alain Negueloua, vice president and general manager at the Bardessono Hotel & Spa in Napa Valley, California, told Fox News Digital that there's been a positive response to the hotel's alcohol-free concierge service.

"This shift reflects a larger industry trend where hotels are leaning into inclusive experiences that cater to every guest's individual needs. We believe this change will not only improve the guest experience but also encourage a more balanced, mindful approach to travel overall," said Negueloua. 

More than 220 million Americans over the age of 12 have reported drinking alcohol at some point in their life, with 16.4% reporting they drank heavily, according to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

For adults ages 18 and older, 23%, or 60.4 million, reported that they were binge-drinking, according to the NSDUH. 

Sober travel, also known as "dry tripping," was one of 2024’s hottest vacation trends, according to Hotels.com, with more than 40% of travelers saying they are likely to book a detox trip in the next year.

A NSDUH spokesperson told Fox News Digital that reviews mentioning "mocktails" surged by 50% year over year, "with guests raving about the creative nonalcoholic offerings at top hotels worldwide."

Bobbie Peppers, general manager of The Memphian in Memphis, Tennessee, told Fox News Digital that there has been a growing interest in more mindful drinking options. 

"The surgeon general's recent guidance highlights the value of offering creative non-alcoholic alternatives. To meet this interest, we’ve introduced a thoughtfully curated mocktail menu and events like a non-alcoholic, three-course meal experience to adapt to changing guest preferences while promoting balance and wellness," said Peppers. 

The prices for flights and hotels in Washington, D.C., are at an all-time high due to Inauguration Day – but, for tourists planning to travel to D.C. post-inauguration, costs are expected to decline.

President Donald Trump has drawn in crowds from all over America who traveled to the nation's capital to witness the historic swearing-in ceremony, and tourists have been paying increased prices for transportation and sleeping arrangements.

Searches for flights to D.C. for the week of Inauguration Day were up by nearly 50% in comparison to the week prior, according to Google Flights search results.

Recent searches on Hotels.com and Booking.com revealed costs for hotel stays amid inauguration week, with prices hitting in the $1,000 range and spiking as high as $3,000 or more per night. Prices will drop by 50% to 85% at several hotels after Jan. 20.

The average cost of a hotel room during the inauguration weekend in D.C. was roughly $700, while the typical weekend cost of a hotel room in the city falls in the $300 range.

Last-minute flights to the city were costing tourists a pretty penny, with a round-trip flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, costing $1,888 and a round trip ticket from Dallas, Texas, to D.C. totaling $760.

Compare these prices to later this week, with a round trip flight from Dallas to Washington, D.C. only costing passengers $180 — meaning inauguration travel from Dallas alone resulted in a more than 420% increase.

And, the same flight from Fort Lauderdale to the nation's capital will cost $323 next week — a 584% decrease compared to days closer to Jan. 20.

Prices for flights should be on the decline starting Thursday, Jan. 23, with Friday being a cheaper day to fly into the capital, according to search results on upcoming air travel to D.C.

Hotel prices will begin to fall back to their average price on Thursday and reach a normal pricing average on Friday, similar to the progression of flight costs.

"Flight prices will always skyrocket with increased demand. Keep in mind, this is also a holiday weekend on top of the excitement of the inauguration, so we have seen an extra surge in attendance with many people having that extra day off work," Kristin Petersen, travel advisor for Travelmation, shared with Fox News Digital.

"As the festivities die down, and the dignitaries fly home, you will start to see travel prices return to normal."

Prices will vary depending on your location, which means some cities may still be at a high until next week and eventually return to regular pricing by the beginning of February, Petersen said.

"When the inauguration was moved inside, they started dismantling the set-up in front of the Capitol Building, so you will not be able to see any remnants of the inauguration," she explained in reference to travelers who are currently in, or soon traveling to D.C.

"I would suggest making a reservation to tour the Capitol Building and see the Rotunda in person, if you plan on visiting at any point in the future."

President Joe Biden’s inauguration in Jan. 2021 may have been scaled back due to COVID-19, but Washington, D.C., is now preparing to welcome a tremendous influx of visitors for the monumental event this year for President-elect Donald Trump. 

Elliott Ferguson, II, Destination DC president and CEO, told Fox News Digital, "The public hasn’t been able to participate in the inauguration since 2017, so we expect significant interest."

Typically, first-term presidents have larger inaugurations, according to Destination DC’s data partners.

Kristin Petersen, a travel adviser at Travelmation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, told Fox News that she encourages clients to avoid the rush hour when flying into the Washington, D.C., area.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Virginia are the airports nearest to the nation’s capital.

"Your commute during rush hour will be jam-packed and slow," said Petersen. 

So "I recommend flying in the middle of the week because most people are coming and going from the city on the weekends."

Petersen said she anticipates that hotel rates will continue to rise and rooms fill up.

"The ideal location is a hotel within walking distance of Capitol Hill," she said. 

"A lot of the city will shut down and many locations will be gated, so it's extremely difficult to move around the city." 

Petersen said she advises visitors to consider staying at destinations that are located outside the district on metro stops if hotel costs in the area are outside people's budgets.

Travelers should check the weather prior to their trip, ensuring proper clothes are packed.

"We have had a snowy start to 2025 and the temperatures have been below normal …Travelers should anticipate freezing temperatures and the potential for snow," she said.

"You can always remove layers if temperatures increase," said Petersen.

Heavy coats, insulated walking shoes, gloves, hats and even hand-warmers are helpful to pack.

The inauguration takes place on Jan. 20 on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. 

The parade will begin at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Inauguration Day, lasting 60 to 90 minutes, according to Destination DC’s website.

The public viewing areas for the parade start at 3rd Street, extending to Pennsylvania Avenue near the Canadian Embassy.

Two new videos have been released in relation to Wednesday's Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas as investigators try to piece together what caused an active-duty U.S. Army soldier to kill himself and then blow up the electric pick-up truck.

The first video shows the Tesla Cybertruck slowly leaving the hotel’s valet area earlier in the morning, while the second video is taken from inside the hotel and shows the truck exploding, sending flames and fireworks into the air. 

Investigators believe Matthew Livelsberger, 37, shot himself in the head before blowing up the futuristic-looking truck outside the iconic hotel, sending flames, fireworks and shrapnel upward just steps away from the hotel's glass doors.

Livelsberger was the only fatality, although seven bystanders reported having minor injuries. A motive has yet to be established. The cause of death was suicide by gunshot, according to the Clark County coroner.

The first video is surveillance footage and shows who police say is Livelsberger driving the rented Cybertruck slowly out of the hotel’s valet area. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill says Livelsberger then visited several places along the Las Vegas Strip, including stopping at the parking lot of a business near the Flamingo Hotel.

In another clip, the truck is stopped at traffic lights on Sands Avenue and then Livelsberger takes a right turn toward Trump International, where he ultimately stops outside the front doors and 17 seconds later the truck goes up in flames. 

Authorities say the truck contained gasoline and camp fuel containers, as well as large firework mortars. The explosion occurred just steps away from the hotel's glass doors, which were not damaged.

The second video, taken by a witness in the hotel’s lobby, shows the truck in flames after the initial explosion. An alarm inside the hotel can be heard going off and emergency lights are flashing.

Two explosive bangs can be heard, followed by the sound of fireworks going off and then another explosion as the top of the truck remains on fire. The incident took place at around 8:40 a.m. local time. 

Among the charred items found inside the truck were a handgun at Livelsberger's feet, another firearm, a number of fireworks, a passport, a military ID, credit cards, an iPhone and a smartwatch, McMahill said. Authorities said both guns were purchased legally.

Livelsberger was a U.S. Army special operations soldier who had several addresses associated with him and was on leave from Germany, where he was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group.

Kenny Cooper, a special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the level of sophistication is not what officials would expect from an individual with this type of military experience.

Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans added that investigators were looking for potential terror ties to Livelsberger but had not found any as of Thursday afternoon.

"The question about whether it's being investigated globally, absolutely – like I said, we're running down investigative leads around the world," he told reporters. "No information that we're aware of right now that connects this individual to any terrorist organization around the world, but that's obviously the thrust of the investigation…ruling out that there's any sort of terrorism nexus."

An Army spokesperson told Fox News that Livelsberger began active duty in the Army in January 2006 and reached the rank of master sergeant. 

Livelsberger spent time at the base formerly known as Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina that is home to the Army Special Forces Command.

Livelsberger joined the National Guard from March 2011 to July 2012, followed by the Army Reserve from July 2012 to December 2012. Additionally, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command confirmed Livelsberger was on approved leave at the time of his death.
