But it’s also so much more part of what makes fun to watch you so compelling is its location. The closest major land masses are Australia, which is over 1000 miles away and it’s more immediate neighbors, New Caledonia, and. EG are roughly 340 miles away, making Vanuatu relatively isolated. It often feels like you’ve got the place to yourself and on beaches this beautiful. That’s a rare feeling indeed.

9 Uber Tuba Brazil
Since we’re already on the subject of beautiful beaches, now feels like an appropriate time to talk about this Brazilian gem. Located on the country’s South East Coast, Ubatuba is a city that has long been popular with domestic travelers. But 2020 shows a notable uptick in bookings. Ubatuba is the official surf capital of Sao Paulo state, often hosting over 10 major competitions each year. But even for those who have yet to discover their love for catching waves, ubatuba has so much else to offer with many dozens of beaches. Sarah Dome, our National Park. And an abundance of fresh, delectable local seafood.
8 Luxembourg For Some Travelers
The word Luxembourg brings to mind the palace gardens and museum in Paris, but with a 167% year over year growth heading into 2020. However Luxembourg, the actual nation, is officially making itself known on the travel map. Quite frankly it’s long overdue. Nestled in the heart of Western Europe and bordered by France, it’s a sort of cultural blend of all three. What sets it apart, however, is its fairy tale atmosphere, a land of castles. Dense forest and delightful architecture Luxembourg is rich in art and history and thanks to its small size you can really do this nation justice in a single visit. Though we do strongly suspect that you’ll want to go back for seconds.
7 Guadalajara Mexico 2020 Is Looking Like A Landmark Year For Mexico
Second most populated city Guadalajara with an expected 158% growth in bookings for 2020. We can only assume that travelers around the globe are getting wise to the cities. Many selling points of Guadalajara’s culinary offerings, mostly issue high-end trendiness. Would remain more traditional and unpretentious and utterly delicious. Given that Guadalajara has a fraction of Mexico City’s population, it’s also notably more slow paced and less crowded. Add to that a lower cost of living. Great museums like the Instituto Cultural cabanas and solid nightlife, and you’ve got the makings of a fantastic trip.
6 Let Contamine, Mantua, France
The Mont Blanc region of France is a winter paradise, boasting some of the most picturesque powdery slopes a skier could ask for for the longest time, the historic Chamonix Mont Blanc. Sort has overshadowed all others for something different. In 2020, however, we highly recommend that Contamine Mantua to the Southwest, a beautiful little village nestled amidst the French Alps at the very heart of the region, makes up for its more modest size and infrastructure with charm. Those smaller than Chamonix, its trails and backcountry are more than enough to keep you entertained for multiple trips. Best of all, even with increased attention, the lack of crowds makes it feel like a secret retreat.
5 Xi’an, China
Xi’an is one of the oldest cities in China. 2020 sees it being born anew as one of the country’s top destinations. Airbnbs has reported a staggering 255% increase in bookings, but honestly, we’re less surprised with the increase in tourism and more confused as to why it’s taken travelers so long to flock here, Xi’an boasts an incredible number of museums and historic sites, but most notable among them is the TerraCotta Army Museum, which is home to the famous soldier sculptures of Cenci Huang with a rich history typically comes a well developed local cuisine, and Sheehan does not disappoint in this regard. Either as if she is proper, doesn’t have enough to offer. It’s also a great home base for exploring one of China’s 5 Great mountains.
4 Romania Is Relatively Off
The traditional travelers radar and that makes it feel wonderfully authentic and not yet radically changed by ways of tourism. It welcomes approximately 2,000,000 international visitors each year, but with a 298% increase in bookings for 2020, we’re recommending that you make a trip sooner rather than later. Romania’s appeal lies in its careful balance of pristine wilderness and. Beautiful, culturally rich cities and towns like its capital Bucharest. It’s been called Europe’s most geographically diverse nation, meaning that outdoor enthusiasts will never grow tired of exploring the varied countryside. When you venture into town, you’ll be greeted with a colorful history, unique architecture, hearty local cuisine and a people who are proud of their culture.
3 Bureau, Ram, Thailand
You think that Romania’s increase in bookings is impressive. Then brace yourself for Barrera where the year over year booking increase from 2019 to 2020 is 383%. No, Buriram hasn’t suddenly become the world’s single hottest destination overnight. What it has done, however, is transform itself into a must visit for motorsport enthusiasts thanks to the opening of the Chang International circuit in 2014, especially since signing a contract to host MotoGP in the form of the PTT Thailand Grand Prix. Of course, Buriram both the town and province, has more to offer than just motorcycle racing. Buriram means city of happiness and it lives up to that name with historic ruins, the most famous being phanom rung. The province also boasts great local cuisine. Some seriously cool markets and plenty of unique shopping opportunities.
2 Aberdeen, Scotland
One of the factors that Airbnbs identified with their trending destinations for 2020 is that in addition to more off the beaten path type cities and countries, travelers seem to be gravitating towards environmentally responsible destinations. Aberdeen fits squarely into this category located on the country’s northeastern coast, Aberdeen, in Scotland, third largest city and is considered to be a leader in sustainability efforts. When you look at the surrounding landscape, you can understand why they’re so motivated to protect the environment. The city itself is home to some stunning gardens and green spaces, charming architecture as well as a strong culinary and bar scene. The greater area of Aberdeenshire boasts a coastline rich in marine life, rolling Green Hills Beach is made all the more unique by relics of World War Two and historic sites like Donna Tartt Castle and Saint Mary’s Kirk at Auckland or.
1 Bilbao, Spain
Last but most certainly not least, we come to this Spanish gem, the largest city in Basque Country. It feels quite culturally separate from the rest of Spain due to the distinct identity and traditions of the Basque people. From the pinchos bars and fresh seafood to Basque folk dance in the world famous architecture, you’ll quickly find yourself utterly enchanted by this one of a kind city. If you’re a lover of art, be sure to check out the museum Guggenheim, which is not only a superb contemporary and modern Art Museum, but an architectural marvel in its own right. All things considered, we’re not surprised that Bilbao has experienced a 402% increase in air bookings. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt that it’s one of the host cities for the 2020 European Football Championship.
