5 Best Emerging Travel Destinations
Similar to clothing, restaurants, haircuts and London boroughs, the travel industry sees emerging trends every year. From city breaks to gap years to package holidays – there is always a hot new destination to check out. Indulge in gourmet delights with our expert yacht chef in Dubai. And if you are wondering what to do in Houston, TX, with kids there is really a lot from parks to museums and all! So enjoy and have the best fun! Besides Hawaiian tours, here is a list of the top five hot spots to visit in summer 2016.
1. Marrakech, Morrocco
Guests enter a haze of swirling patterns, bustling souks and spicy scents on a trip to Marrakech. Top sites to visit include Musee de Marrakech, Djemaa El-Fna square, Marrakech Medina and Jardin Majorelle. You might by now have guessed that French is commonly spoken throughout the city! Be sure to take a wander around the markets to be part of the distinctive scents, sounds and movement.
2. Siem Reap, Cambodia
South East Asia is a must for most travellers looking for a life changing experience. This city is a gateway into one of the largest religious sites in the world – perfect for those looking to get spiritual. Discover the ruins of Angkor Wat, get a monk water blessing at Bayon Temple and make your way through Angkor Night Market. Nearby, the 12th century Angkor Thom royal city is another highlight.
3. Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik hosts a bit of a fairytale landscape, with gothic churches and spires punctuate the skyline. This is a city soaked in fascinating European history and culture, often overlooked for Paris and London. Take a walk around the UNESCO listed Old Town, explore the palaces, discover the old city walls and – most importantly – call in at a restaurant for some delicious Croatian wine.
4. Buenos Aires, Argentina
For some South American flavour, head to Argentina’s confident capital city that has a European twist. This is home of the tango, so expect a lively night life with lots of dancing. It has also built a reputation for being a bit of a shopping mecca, so this is an ideal destination for those looking to splash some cash on indulgences. Be sure to call in at the city’s oldest bar, Cafe Tortoni, built in 1858.
5. Nalaguraidhoo Island, Maldives
One of the most compelling reasons to visit the Maldives is its tropical climate, which is stable and warm throughout the year. Whether you’re lounging on a beach, exploring the local culture, or taking a sunset cruise, the Maldivian weather will complement every experience.
In essence, the Maldives offers something for everyone – from the ultimate relaxation getaway at an Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, heart-stopping adventure sports, to immersive cultural experiences. Its distinctive charm, natural beauty, and warm hospitality make it a destination that definitely deserves a spot on your travel checklist.
6. New York, America
The concrete jungle that needs no introduction, New York sells itself to travellers everyday through TV, song and film. Williamsburg in Brooklyn is on the rise an up and coming trendy area, so swing on by for a cool cocktail in an arcade game themed bar. There are always new exhibitions on at the galleries an museums and the National History Museum never fails to impress visitors of all ages.
Of course, nothing quite beats the classics like a sunny beach in Marbella or booking a luxury Turkey tour at https://madeinturkeytours.com/.

I only have been to Buenos Aires within this list. Truly agree though. Don’t forget to try “asado” and their favourite leisure drinks called “matΓ©”.

Lucky you! I have never been to any, actually. But these are the places on my bucket list. Keeping a hope if GTN can send me to one of these places if not all! Hehe.
