After a year that left much of the world locked down and staring at the same four walls at home, Tripadvisor research, based on global traveler search and survey data across six markets (United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Japan and Singapore), today reveals a new 2021 travel mindset.
This is according to Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards for Destinations. The awards reveal where travellers ventured in 2020, while travel was open, as well as where they dreamed of going while the pandemic kept them stuck at home. The categories include the most popular, trending, and emerging destinations around the world. And 2021 brings with it a new category, National Parks. Cornwall’s St Ives was named fifth in the world’s Emerging Destinations list the places travellers want to visit next, and is the only UK destination to be featured. Topping the world list is the Caribbean island of Martinique, followed by Panama City Beach in the United States and Brazil’s Armacao dos Buzios in third place.
