As it does every year, TripAdvisor has announced the top ten destinations on the rise in 2018. To make the list, the travel site has pulled its list from a combination of travel reviews, online buzz and its own expertise. All in all, it’s a fairly diverse selection, with an understandable bias toward beautiful beaches. With that said, size seemed to have no bearing on a place’s selection; the African mega-city of Nairobi makes the list, as does the tiny Hawaiian town of Kapa'a. Where will your next trip be? Let this list give you some fresh ideas.
Here’s the full top ten, in case you missed one of them:
- Ishigaki, Japan
- Kapa'a, Hawaii
- Nairobi, Kenya
- Halifax, Nova Scotia
- Gdańsk, Poland
- San Jose, Costa Rica
- Riga, Latvia
- Rovinj, Croatia
- Nerja, Spain
- Casablanca, Morocco
