Top 10 Travel Destinations for 2010 : Kathika Travel Website

By Amanda Kendle on December 16th, 2009

The results are in: Lonely Planet has released its 2010 version of the ten destinations they think will be the hottest. As always, there is a mix of mainstream spots and places off the beaten track, and although I’m not really sure how the Lonely Planet people can be so certain that these are the places everybody’s suddenly going to be heading for, it makes for a nice list of possible trips. Basically, the list looks like this:

Europe: Germany, Portugal and Greece all make the top ten, and all have plenty of familiar sights to see and interesting culture to experience.
Mainstream: New Zealand and the United States are also on the list – but we figure people are already pretty used to traveling around these parts.
Central and South America: El Salvador and Suriname are two lesser-known destinations on the top ten list, but they sure sound interesting, with key features being the lack of crowds and the wildlife, respectively.
Off the Beaten Track: Rounding out the list are Malaysia (now easily reached by low-cost carriers from pretty much anywhere in the world), Morocco and Nepal, all of which are unique places with experiences for tourists which you won’t easily find elsewhere.
