After two years of on-again, off-again travel, there's plenty of eagerness to go back on the road. But where do you go when it comes to making future plans? And, since our last trip, what have been the emerging travel trends? From eco-friendly travel to large bucket-list trips, here are our top picks for the most popular travel locations in 2022.
1. Scandinavia
More individuals are willing to splurge on their 2022 trip destinations now that we've lost nearly two years of travel. And if you're looking for opulence, you can't go wrong with Scandinavia. Consider magnificent hotels perched on the cliffs of soaring fjords and world-class rail trips through lush alpine scenery. Consider opulent palaces steeped in regal history, as well as fashionable cities brimming with the greatest stores, bars, and restaurants. It's time to go Nordic in 2022, from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark to Finland and Iceland.
2. Kenya and Tanzania
After considering the influence of tourism on people and the environment, responsible and sustainable tourism is the way of the future. In the aftermath of the outbreak, many communities have suffered severely. We can't wait to return to our favourite sites in Kenya and Tanzania to help our local hosts once more.
When you book a safari with Trafalgar, you're helping to support local companies and families while also helping to safeguard the amazing wildlife. In the Serengeti, look for elephants and lions, and meet the colourful Masai tribesmen. Visit rhino and monkey sanctuaries and walk the ancient floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. One of the major travel trends in 2022 will be responsible travel, and Kenya and Tanzania will be at the top of the list.
3. Singapore
What better way to reward oneself after a gruelling two years than with a trip to Singapore? This opulent city-state is ideal for a short visit or a prolonged vacation. Singapore also has one of the most successful pandemic responses, making it a safer option for travel in 2022.
Imagine opulent buildings and shopping malls, as well as spectacular gardens and waterfalls. Explore world-class museums, theme parks, and attractions, as well as vibrant neighbourhoods. From China to Malaysia to India, sample a kaleidoscope of foods and civilizations. Singapore truly has it all, and it's no surprise that it will be a popular tourist destination in 2022.
4. Belarus
Belarus has recently become one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. It's not surprising, given the country's lenient visa restrictions, outstanding coffee scene, and vibrant nightlife. Belarus is a country rich in natural wonders and animals. From the Stalinist architecture of Minsk to the National Memorial Complex of Khatyn, history can be found at every step.
Belarus is a great place to visit if you're looking for a romantic holiday. The Narach National Park, which is steeped in mystery and history, has been chosen one of the most romantic destinations to visit with your sweetheart.
5. So Tomé and Prncipe
You're unlikely to have heard of So Tomé and Prncipe before this list was released. It is the second smallest African country, consisting of two islands, with a population of about 1,90,000 people. It was a Portuguese colony until 1975, hence Portuguese is still the official language. You can't visit this area without seeing Bom Bom Island. It's an excellent spot for deep-sea fishing or simply observing humpback whales in their natural habitat.
6. Great Britain and Ireland
Great Britain and Ireland should be at the top of your 2022 vacation locations list if you want the finest of nature and history. This is a site where you may explore millennia of history while admiring the world's most gorgeous scenery.
Wander through regal castles before seeing the Scottish Highlands or Devon and Cornwall's beautiful beaches. Explore the wonders of Stonehenge and the Giant's Causeway, then stroll through the Lakes District in the footsteps of novelists and poets. Great Britain and Ireland will be one of the most soul-stirring vacation destinations in 2022, with warm natives welcoming you at every turn.
7. Belize
Belize brought up a world of Central American rainforests, aquatic adventures, and Mayan culture, just when we thought things couldn't get much better. Belize might be precisely what you're searching for if you enjoy unusual experiences. The little nation, which is sandwiched between Mexico and Guatemala, features beautiful beaches, pleasant weather all year, and the world-famous Blue Hole.
Belize's cave systems are well-known. The Mayans are said to have performed religious ceremonies and rituals in these caverns.
8. Croatia
You must visit Croatia if you dream of pleasant days beside crystal blue lakes and stroll through historic walled villages with Mediterranean architecture. This European paradise is a treasure trove of experiences offered nowhere else in the world, from island-dotted coastlines to white pebbly beaches, mighty palaces telling tales of kingdoms and empires, a rich cultural legacy, craggy peaks and caverns, river canyons and waterfalls, and picture-perfect lakes with the clearest of water. Hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, rafting, zip-lining, snorkelling, diving, kayaking, windsurfing, sailing, and many more activities are available here.
9. Peru
Peru is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, thanks to Machu Picchu. However, the Inca Trail is not the only attraction worth seeing. Peru is a great spot for all those who prefer to live on the edge, from magnificent scenery to urban Lima. Discover the floating town of Lake Titicaca or the Huacachina settlement.
10. Barbados
There's nothing like a Caribbean vacation! That is undeniable. Barbados, with its laid-back attitude, is one of the best nations to visit in 2022. Everything in Barbados screams vacation, from the gorgeous beaches to the lush resorts. On your 2022 trip, the 'country of the flying fish' will undoubtedly provide you with an upgraded experience.
