Celebrating love in Paris. Cruising along Halong Bay. Going on a gondola ride in Venice. Clubbing and gambling in Vegas. Reliving history in Rome. There are certain travel experiences that are known wide and far, and are believed to be obvious must-dos for every traveller at least once. In short, they have stayed too good to be replaced. Having said that, there’s also no denying that every new year brings along a fresh bucket list of exotic experiences and dreamy destinations that tempt souls with wanderlust from across the globe. The ritual of listing new destinations at the dawn of a fresh year is merely a decade old yet is religiously followed by the global travel industry. Even though you may argue that what’s new for one, is regular for another, the continuous chase for a place less explored or an adventure less experienced leads us to a new list every new year. With no exception at all, 2018 will also see passports stamped with many new inks and Instagram feeds inundated with stills from lesser-known, exotic lands. Because, as they say, ‘the world is big, and one should explore most of it before it gets dark’.
