this list we're looking at cities and
countries that despite not typically
appearing at the top of travel bucket
lists have experienced a none notable
increase in Airbnb bookings for 2020, and
what you may want to consider for your
next trip number 10
Vanuatu an island nation in the South
Pacific Vanuatu is your quintessential
tropical paradise but it's also so much
more part of what makes Vanuatu so
compelling is its location the closest
major landmass is Australia which is
over a thousand miles away and it's more
immediate neighbors New Caledonia and
Fiji are roughly 340 miles away, making
Vanuatu relatively isolated translation
it often feels like you've got the place
to yourself and on beaches this
beautiful that's a rare feeling indeed
this archipelago which consists of over
80 islands is known to have world-class
diving, rich cultural history extremely
friendly locals breathtaking natural
beauty and endless opportunities for
adventure and given the 140 percent
growth reported by Airbnb people are
finally catching on so you better move
fast number 9
ooba-dooba Brazil since we're already on
the subject of beautiful beaches now
feels like an appropriate time to talk
about this Brazilian gem located on the
country's southeast coast
ooba-dooba is a city that has long been
popular with domestic travelers but 2020
shows on notable uptick in bookings
Ubatuba is the official surf capital of
south paulo state often hosting over ten
major competitions each year but even
for those who have yet to discover their
love for catching waves Ubatuba has so
much else to offer with many dozens of
beaches Sara dome our national park and
an abundance of fresh delectable local
seafood number 8 Luxembourg for some
travelers the word Luxembourg brings to
mind the palace gardens and Museum in
Paris but with a 167 percent
year-over-year growth heading into 2020
however Luxembourg the actual nation is
officially making itself known on the
travel map quite frankly it's long
overdue nestled
in the heart of Western Europe and
bordered by France it's a sort of
cultural blend of all three what sets it
apart however is its fairytale
atmosphere a land of castles dense
forests and delightful architecture
Luxembourg is rich in art and history
and thanks to its small size you can
really do this nation justice in a
single visit though we do strongly
suspect that you'll want to go back for
seconds number seven Guadalajara Mexico
2020 is looking like a landmark year for
Mexico's second most populated city
Guadalajara with an expected 158 percent
growth in bookings for 2020 we can only
assume that travelers around the globe
are getting wise to the city's many
selling points guadalajara zoo culinary
offerings mostly eschew high-end
trendiness and remain more traditional
and unpretentious and utterly delicious
given that Guadalajara has a fraction of
Mexico City's population it's also
notably more slow-paced and less crowded
add to that a lower cost of living great
museums like the instituto cultural
cabanas and solid nightlife and you've
got the makings of a fantastic trip
number six LeConte i mean mon choix
france the mont blanc region of france
is a winter paradise boasting some of
the most picturesque powdery slopes as
skiers can ask for for the longest time
the historic Chamonix Mont Blanc resort
has overshadowed all others for
something different in 2020 however we
highly recommend the cont Amin mantra to
the southwest a beautiful little village
nestled amidst the French Alps at the
very heart of the region nakhon Tamim
Mon choix makes up for its more
modest-sized and infrastructure with
charms those smaller than Chamonix its
trails and backcountry are more than
enough to keep you entertained for
multiple trips best of all even with
increased attention the lack of crowds
makes it feel like a secret retreat
number five Xian China Xian is one of
the oldest cities in China but 2020 seas
of being born anew as one of the
country's top destinations Airbnb has
reported a staggering 255 percent
increase in bookings but honestly we're
less surprised with the increase in
tourism and more confused as to why it's
taken traveller so long to flock here
Xian boasts an incredible number of
museums and historic sites but most
notable among them is the Terracotta
Army Museum which is home to the famous
soldier sculptures of Qin Shihuang with
a rich history typically comes a
well-developed local cuisine and Xian
does not disappoint in this regard
as if she on proper doesn't have enough
to offer it's also a great home base for
exploring quest Shawn one of China's
five great mountains number four Romania
Romania is relatively off the
traditional travelers radar and that
makes it feel wonderfully authentic and
not yet radically changed by ways of
tourism it welcomes approximately two
million international visitors each year
but with a 298 percent increase in
bookings for 2020 we're recommending
that you make a trip sooner rather than
later Romania's appeal lies in its
careful balance of pristine wilderness
and beautiful culturally rich cities and
towns like its capital Bucharest
it's been called Europe's most
geographically diverse nation meaning
that outdoor enthusiasts will never grow
tired of exploring the varied
countryside when you venture into town
you'll be greeted with a colorful
history unique architecture hearty local
cuisine and a people who are proud of
their culture number three Bureau RAM
Thailand you think that Romania is
increase in bookings is impressive then
brace yourself for Barrera for the year
over your booking increase from 2019 to
2020 is three hundred eighty-three
percent no Buriram hasn't suddenly
become the world's single hottest
destination overnight what it has done
however, is transform itself into a must
visit for motorsport enthusiasts thanks
to the opening of the Chiang
International Circuit in 2014
especially since signing a contract a
host MotoGP in the form of the PTT
Thailand Grand Prix of course for Ihram
both the town and province has more to
offer than just motorcycle racing
Buriram means city of happiness and it
lives up to that name with historic
ruins the most famous being phanom rung
the province also boasts great local
cuisine some seriously cool markets and
plenty of unique shopping opportunities
number 2: Aberdeen Scotland one of the
factors that Airbnb identified with
their trending destinations for 2020 is
that in addition to more off the beaten
path type cities and countries travelers
seem to be gravitating towards
environmentally responsible destination
Aberdeen fits squarely into this
category located on the country's
northeastern coast
Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest
city and is considered to be a leader in
sustainability efforts when you look at
the surrounding landscape you can
understand why they're so motivated to
protect the environment the city itself
is home to some stunning gardens and
green spaces charming architecture as
well as a strong culinary and bar scene
the greater area of Aberdeenshire
it's a coastline rich and marine life
rolling green hills beaches made all the
more unique by relics of World War two
and historic sites like dunnottar castle
and st. Mary's Kirk a talking door
number one Bilbao Spain last but most
certainly not least we come to this
Spanish gem the largest city in vast
country it feels quite culturally
separate from the rest of Spain due to
the distinct identity and traditions of
the Basque people from the pinchos bars
and fresh seafood to Basque folk dance
in the world-famous architecture you'll
quickly find yourself utterly enchanted
by this one-of-a-kind city if you're a
lover of art be sure to check out the
Museo Guggenheim which is not only a
superb contemporary and modern art
museum but an architectural marvel in
its own right all things considered
we're not surprised that Bilbao has
experienced a 402 percent in Airbnb
bookings of course it also doesn't hurt
that it's one of the host cities for the
2020 European football championship do
