If you’re looking for places in the world to travel to that haven’t been “found” yet, the blog Travellemming has some suggestions. This year it asked well-heeled travel bloggers from around the world to vote for 30 places nominated by myriad tourist offices and governments as the world’s top emerging destinations for 2020.
Raising the awareness of lesser-known destinations – places that are not “overtouristed” – Travellemming says, is “to help encourage travelers to spread out and appreciate every corner of this stunning planet.” Clearly there is a taste among the bloggers for the Caucasus and beyond, with Georgia, Estonia, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan on the list. In Africa, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Namibia are named. But there are also many surprises. Read on.
