Some of you have already seen the clock strike midnight and welcomed in the New Year, but most of us aren’t quite there at the time of writing. But wherever you happen to be in the world, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers of A Luxury Travel Blog a very Happy New Year!
Last month Condé Nast Traveller published their list of the 22 best holiday destinations for travel in 2022. And here was their list:
Best for culture lovers
Oslo, Norway
New Orleans, USA
Egypt
Kingston, Jamaica
Menorca
Best for foodies
Birmingham, UK
Serbia
Jersey
Bend, Oregon, USA
County Tipperary, Ireland
Best for adventure junkies
Central Tanzania
Siquijor, Philippines
The Daintree, Queensland, Australia
Beijing, China
Sierras Chicas, Argentina
Hachinohe, Japan
Kaunas, Lithuania
Best for families
Trang archipelago, Thailand
Edinburgh, Scotland
Samos, Greece
Almere, Netherlands
Stewart Island, New Zealand
Do you agree with their selection or do you think there are some notable omissions? You might, for instance, have expected Qatar to have got a mention given that it is hosting the FIFA World Cup (after all, Beijing got a mention as it is hosting the Winter Olympics and Birmingham because it will be home to the Commonwealth Games). You might also be surprised to find that 10 of the 22 destinations selected are all in Europe.
Where gets your vote and where will you be visiting in 2022?
