The year has just begun and some destinations are already expected to attract the attention of a greater number of travelers. Although forecasts are not always able to account for everything that may occur, some companies risk pointing out the trends.
This is the case with a hostel app, which analyzed the reservation data in 2017 in order to try to discover the best tourist destinations this year. According to him, the criterion of the research was centered in the places that had greater increase of the demand, besides notes made by specialists. With this, the platform chose the 18 best destinations for the year. Check out the list below:
ICELAND
Home to the true Blue Lagoon and also of aurora borealis, the country, although little explored by Brazilians, had a year of prominence in reservations made on the platform. The expectation is that in 2018 the numbers are still so positive.
ISRAEL
Despite the recent controversy over Jerusalem, the country closed the year with a 60% increase in hotel bookings.
SCOTLAND
The country is quite popular among the British. However, permeated with medieval castles and legends, Scotland should also attract visitors from other countries.

VIETNAM
The country is always on the list of travelers’ favorite destinations. According to the platform, the best times of visitation are during the lunar festivals.
