NEW YORK, January 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
According to Booking.com research polling 34,000 respondents
across 17 global markets, we are all striving to achieve more trip
diversity in our travels. As the global leader in connecting
travelers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay,
Booking.com advised that two thirds (66%) of global travelers said
they wanted to add a completely new travel experience next year to
what they'd done last year.*
Given our adventurous appetite, why not start by building a
better bucket list? One that's a notch or two higher on the
intrepid scale with destinations that have just as much wow factor
as, say, the Inca trail, but far fewer tourists.
To help travelers tap into their adventurous side, Booking.com
used traveler recommendation data to compile this list of places
you may never have heard of or are pretty far off the beaten track,
that you need to visit. All of these destinations have been highly
approved by Booking.com customers, 95% of whom recommended them to
other travelers.
Here's a list for culture vultures, laying out the best but
lesser-known gems for those seeking a taste of the arts:
1. Recanati, Italy
2. Jaisalmer, India
3. Viljandi, Estonia
4. Aït Benhaddou, Morocco
5. Borobudur, Indonesia
6. Uluru, Australia
7. Barichara, Colombia
8. Vézelay, France
9. Flores, Guatemala
