Why Not Travel Here?
January 4th, 2010
Welcome to 2010! We’re in the second decade of the 21st Century already. Can you believe it? Of course in the travel world, that means the emergence of new destinations, new ways of travel and hopefully more opportunities to take advantage of these.
If you subscribe to our emagazine, TraveLuxe, you will see that tomorrow’s release of the January-February edition sheds some light on three of our top destination suggestions for 2010. (If you don’t subscribe, hurry up and do so now so that you can receive tomorrow’s edition!).
First off, let me say that there are virtually innumerable destinations around the world that we suggest. Some of these, however, we don’t feel need the extra boost as they are already quite popular and not by any means emerging (ie Rome, Paris, London). Instead, our suggestions focus either on emerging destinations, or those that just don’t necessarily get as much press as some of their neighbors.
Secondly, even with the list narrowed down as described above, we didn’t have nearly enough room in this TraveLuxe edition to focus on each destination. We chose perhaps our top three for the issue and are continuing the list in this blog throughout the course of the next few weeks. As a preview for what’s coming up, here are some of the destinations we’ll be highlighting:
- Egypt
- Morroco
- The Maldives
- The Seychelles
- Madagascar
- Russia (via land or river boat)
- A few more surprises via train and boat!
As for the countries in tomorrow’s issue, well you’ll just have to read it to find out! This is just a short list of our features over the next few weeks. We would LOVE to hear your ideas for additional features. After all, we want to help you learn about the destinations you are most interested in! Please leave your comments for the countries, regions, or types of travel that you would like to explore in the next year (or next several years).
Happy New Year and Happy Travels!
*A note: this blog will now be posted on Mondays and Wednesdays, instead of Tuesdays and Thursdays as it was last year. For the next few weeks, the destination of the week will not be featured on Fridays, as we the weekly blogs will be dedicated to destinations features. Instead, each Friday will feature photos from around the world to help spark your travel bug! Destination of the Week will return shortly!

A country really trying to promote tourism that many people may not think about is Namibia. It has a lot to offer travelers who want something “far from the maddening crowd” but that is not dangerous.

We’re on the same wavelength! I featured Namibia in my most recent issue of TraveLuxe. It has up to 360 days of sunshine and has some of the best watering holes for game viewing in all of Africa!
How about Iceland? It’s so inexpensive for U.S.- and UK-based travelers nowadays.
Great suggestion! I wasn’t sure if it was too “popular” to profile, though I do have a few clients who have recently come back or are interested in going, so it’s very fresh in my mind! It’s also a great extension from one of the destinations profiled in tomorrow’s edition, so that will work out well. Thanks Cynthia!
