8 emerging tourist destinations

There are almost 200 countries in the world, and yet many times we have the feeling that they are less due, in part, to the oblivion to which certain places have succumbed either due to their political situation, economy or poor marketing campaigns. However, the world goes beyond the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Canyon or the Great Wall of China, these being 8 emerging tourist destinations the candidates for a new safari mecca or European medieval enclave.

Are we ahead of the future?

Namibia

Located next to South Africa, Namibia is considered as the most emerging African country when it comes to tourism for many reasons: increasingly competent connections with its capital, Windhoek, its condition of a calm and safe country but, especially, its many charms. In Namibia they coexist from the vestiges of the arrival of the Germans (the desert town of Kolmanskop, women who still dress as ethnic Victorians) to mystical prints such as the acacias of Deadvlei, passing through its status as a mecca of the safaris thanks to places like him Etosha National Park. All this without forgetting those days in 4 × 4 taming the dunes of the Namib Desert, the only coastal desert in the world dotted with ships that died.

Bosnia y Herzegovina

Having overcome much of the consequences of the bloody war that ended just over twenty years ago, the countries of the former Yugoslavia adapted to the European Union began to unfold their cloak of history and nature with examples such as the already consolidated Croatia or, recently, Bosnia. and Herzegovina. Since Sarajevo, its cosmopolitan capital, even the most photographed picture in the country, its Mostar Old Bridge, Bosnia Herzegovina is a microcosm of forests, limestone formations, waterfalls, rivers and even simply irresistible vineyards.

Cape Verde

Last year I was lucky enough to sneak into this archipelago to which more and more old vacationers from Egypt or Tunisia are diverted thanks to its contrasts, nature and quiet lifestyle. Located two hours flight from Senegal and made up of ten islands, the archipelago of Cape Verde encompasses some of the most amazing beaches in Africa and contrasts ranging from the colors and turtles of Boa Vista passing through the volcanoes of the impetuous Fogo.

Dominica

Possibly on the island of Dominica itself he is not so up to date, but the rest of the world is already prowling a perhaps too well-known Caribbean looking for a last natural oasis. Dominica is everything we can ask of an almost virgin island: lost fishing villages, waterfalls more impressive than the ones on your wallpaper (Emerald pool is the best example) and jungles dotted with tropical birds to which, hopefully, ecotourism arrives before the crowds. Contrasts of what was the first island discovered during Christopher Columbus' second voyage to America in 1493 that we are eager to discover.

Myanmar

Asia is not only made up of China, Thailand or India; no, there is much more. Besieged by a dictatorship not as strict as a few years ago, Burma begins to awaken the rest of the world to show the golden pagodas of its capital, Yangon, the sunsets of the ancient (and glorious) imperial city of Bagan and even dream beaches where lonely fishermen live like Ngapali beach. Without a doubt, the most promising country in the entire Asian continent.

Mongolia

Located between two giants like Russia and China and a flagship place of the ancient Silk Road, Mongolia has for years been one of the most secretive countries in the world. . . up to now. In the Terelj National Park the wild horses still trot free while the Sacred Valley of the Tuul River it extends to 1600 meters above sea level enclosing misty forests, immense steppes and mountains that will delight trekking enthusiasts. All this without forgetting the existence of part of the Gobi desert that it shares with the Chinese giant.

Slovenia

The best known country in recent months thanks to Melania Trump is consolidated as the most ecotourism in Europe thanks to its 53% of national protected area and a set of attractions that will delight lovers of history and nature. The buildings and statues worthy of a Game of Thrones setting make up its capital, Ljubljana, while the presence of the famous Valley of the Seven Lakes reveals highlights like the famous lake bled and the homonymous town splashed in the middle of the water. The greatest pride of the Julian Alps and the best lung to flee the world for the next few months.

Azores

Dotted in the middle of the Atlantic, this Portuguese archipelago is more than a mythical "anticyclone factory." In fact, many already call it the new Iceland. And it is that the Azores archipelago, made up of nine islands and located almost 1500 kilometers from the coast of Portugal, it offers tourists a set of volcanoes, Atlantic forests and villages worth visiting before the rest of the world. Among its great attractions we find from the possibility of swim with dolphins in São Miguel until admiring the Lagoa das Sete Cidades, where the blue of its caldera contrasts with the green of Ponta Delgada. As icing, nothing better than getting lost in Terceira Island, where they have their own version of Sanfermines and a city with reddish roofs, Angra do Heroismo, designated a Unesco heritage site.

These 8 emerging tourist destinations they will give much to talk about for the next few years in which the world, out of sheer instinct, will begin to look for new natural and cultural sanctuaries in which to continue consuming the certainty that the world can always continue to surprise us.

Which of these emerging tourist destinations would you like to visit in the next decade?
