Each year, different destinations around the world are awarded status as a top travel location, and enthusiastic adventurers are always keen to know what the next travel hotspot will be. The year 2013 saw locations such as Austria, Thailand and Bulgaria and increase drastically in popularity, whilst 2012’s hotspots of Brazil, Germany’s Hamburg, and Portugal’s Algarve faded out of the spotlight. The question on every traveller’s lips, now, is: what will 2014 hold?
There is much speculation about which destinations will be the most popular to visit in 2014. Of course, there is no real way of predicting where people will fancy flying to on holiday, but there are a few indications that give hints.
The next football World Cup is set to take place in 2014, in Brazil’s capital Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is often referred to as a football-fanatic country, and Rio will, without a doubt, be busy, bustling and buzzing next summer. Aside from football, Rio de Janeiro is an incredible capital city that has always been very popular with travellers. It boasts many tourist attractions and sights, such as the famous Cristo Redentor statue, and as a city is an incredibly rewarding place to visit. There’s little doubt that Rio de Janeiro will be a popular destination next year; people from all over the world will flock there, either for the football, or just to be part of everything that Rio has to offer.
It is also predicted that low cost locations, such as Eastern European countries, will becoming increasingly popular next year, as holidaymakers start to feel the pinch on the pounds, and want to get more for their money. Countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and Monte Negro are not typically considered as beach holiday destinations, but the beaches of Black and Adriatic seas should not be underestimated. With miles of beautiful coastline, dramatic scenery and plenty of sunshine, these unlikely destinations have everything a traveller wants from a beach holiday. What’s more, though, is that these countries are incredibly inexpensive.
