After 2 years we finally start gaining our hopes back and suitcases ready for action! So, if traveling is on the top of your priorities list this year then stick around because we have prepared the 10 coolest travel destinations for 2022, along with activity ideas and what’s new in tourism for each of these cities…
London, United Kingdom
London will be in quite a festive mood this year celebrating The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Many events will be held to honor Britain’s longest-serving monarch, including a long weekend party and street carnival at the beginning of June. So if you’ve ever wanted to visit the UK, 2022 is the perfect moment to do so!
Riviera Maya, Mexico
It is no doubt that Mexico’s popularity as a travel destination has been increasing over the years, especially since they decided to never close their borders during the pandemic. Their visitor numbers have doubled since 2019 and therefore, this 2022 a new round of hotels will be opening in Tulum and Riviera Maya. Get your sunscreen and towels ready to enjoy the beach!
Bodrum, Turkey
Are you maybe looking for a beach vacation closer to Europe? Then Bodrum is the place for you! It is one of the hottest up-and-coming destinations and has a bunch of new luxury hotels opening soon. Don’t miss it!
Japan
Japan’s strong pandemic response positions it to be one of the best places to travel abroad in 2022 (once it reopens its borders of course). Its stunning cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and gorgeous rural areas such as Kamikochi, Hakone, and Yakushima, there is surely something in Japan for everyone.
Bahamas
We already know this is probably on most Americans’ bucket list already, but this year there’s one more reason to visit the Bahamas. Baha Mar on the Island of New Providence has opened a new water park for its visitors and during April and May, Nassau will be celebrating their famous carnival for the first time after the pandemic!
Burgundy, France
In the spring, the region’s capital city of Dijon will welcome the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin (International City of Gastronomy and Wine), an expansive complex with a cooking school, a new hotel, a handful of restaurants, and a wine cellar with over 250 by-the-glass offerings. The new project is perfectly situated at the starting point of Burgundy’s famed wine route — Route des Grands Crus — which runs from Dijon to Santenay and produces some of the country’s most well-regarded wines, including pinot noir, chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc. Not to miss!
