I like to keep our regular clients abreast of which destinations are "hot" so to speak, at least in the small realm of J5Travel's client travels. This year, Greece has been quieter, Italy has remained our top destination around the same levels of 2023, while the biggest sales growth has been seen in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Scotland, Portugal and expedition cruising. I can't draw a conclusion from what is, after all, a small sample size, but I like to think that several of our clients are spreading their wings more.
This leads me to this weeks blog topic...5 of my absolute favorite countries, that no client as yet, has asked to plan a trip for. We need to talk!
Visiting Bhutan offers a unique blend of natural beauty, rich culture, and spiritual tranquility. Nestled in the Himalayas, it boasts stunning landscapes, from lush valleys to snow-capped peaks. The country’s real commitment to Gross National Happiness reflects in its warm, hospitable people and sustainable tourism practices. Visitors can explore ancient monasteries, vibrant festivals, and well-preserved traditions. Trekking through pristine nature, encountering rare wildlife, and experiencing Bhutan’s serene, mindful lifestyle are joys that will leave lasting impressions.
Botswana
Visiting Botswana offers a rich tapestry of natural beauty and wildlife experiences. The country is home to the stunning Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with diverse wildlife like elephants, lions, and hippos. Chobe National Park is renowned for its large elephant herds and boat safaris, while the Kalahari Desert showcases vast landscapes and unique cultures of the San people. Botswana's commitment to sustainable tourism ensures an authentic, uncrowded, and unforgettable safari adventure.
I adore Thailand, but if you want something similar, but a little less touristy than Malaysia is for you. The country offers a vibrant mix of experiences: stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and diverse wildlife make it a paradise for nature lovers. Its cities, like Kuala Lumpur, blend modern skyscrapers with historic sites. Malaysia's rich cultural tapestry, influenced by Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous traditions, is reflected in its festivals, architecture, and arts. The food scene is a highlight, with street food and fine dining offering delicious flavors. Warm hospitality and beautiful landscapes create an unforgettable journey.
Latvia
Visiting Latvia offers a delightful blend of charming medieval towns, lush forests, and pristine beaches along the Baltic Sea. Riga, the capital, enchants with its Art Nouveau architecture and vibrant cultural scene. Explore historic castles, picturesque countryside, and serene national parks like Gauja. Enjoy local delicacies, such as smoked fish and hearty rye bread, and immerse yourself in traditional Latvian festivals. The warm hospitality, rich history, and unspoiled nature make Latvia a truly captivating destination.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua offers a blend of natural beauty, adventure, and vibrant culture. From the colonial charm of Granada to the stunning volcanic landscapes of Ometepe Island, there's no shortage of breathtaking sights. Visitors can enjoy pristine beaches on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, surf world-class waves, explore lush rainforests, and discover rich wildlife. The warm hospitality of the locals, colorful markets, and delicious traditional cuisine make Nicaragua a joyful and unforgettable destination.
