Why not try something a little different this year? Rather than following the crowds to the usual destinations that are flooded with tourists, here are five alternative places to visit where you can enjoy similar experiences without encountering hordes of selfie-stick wielding tourists.
Think of Mallorca, and you may conjure up visions of all-inclusive resorts, packed beaches and rows of bars populated by rowdy British tourists. But there’s much more to this Balearic island. Step off the beaten track and away from the crowds and discover tranquil villages, secluded beaches and dramatic hiking trails.
Yearning to explore the majestic Himalayas’ lofty peaks, vast glaciers and thundering rivers – renowned for their sheer beauty, ruggedness and spiritual serenity? Then forget about touristy and crowded Nepal and set your sights on northern India.
What destinations are at the top of your personal bucket list? Are they the usual places— Venice, Barcelona, Tulum, Bali—or somewhere a little more off the beaten track? More and more, tourists are opting to stay away from popular destinations.
Croatia is no longer off-the-beaten-track, thanks to the hordes of visitors that flock there each summer in search of sparkling blue seas and Game of Thrones sights. If you’re planning to visit Croatia this summer, why not set your sights on one of the country’s 1,200 relaxing islands.
A staggering 77% of Generation Ys traveling habits mimic those of their parents, preferring to choose destinations where they can travel in comfort with similar cultures and language spoken, rather than take a left turn to off-the-beaten track places, despite their desire to do so.
