Just in time for the season of asking really, really nicely for a new suitcase, Airbnb has released its predictions for the most popular travel destinations in 2019.
The home–rental website forecasts a boom in visits to 19 cities and countries across the globe, based on a combination of Airbnb search data, bookings, and wish-list flags. Lucky for us—and by us, I mean anyone who likes to fantasize about exotic vacations while lying in bed on a Saturday morning—they've included home listings and a handful of Airbnb "experiences" in each locale.
There are islands. There are cities. There are mountains, beaches, red deer, and golden eagles. There's even a trail named after cheese (Route du Camembert, anyone?). Without further ado, Airbnb's top 19 travel destinations for 2019 are:
1. Kaikoura, New Zealand
2. Xiamen, China
3. Puebla, Mexico
4. Normandy, France
5. Great Smoky Mountains, United States
6. Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
7. Accra, Ghana
8. Mozambique
9. Outer Hebrides, Scotland
