Julia Cosgrove, editor in chief of Afar, said: “Putting together Afar’s annual Where to Go list always adds new destinations to my ‘must visit’ list, and this year is no different.
“These places serve as fantastic alternatives to the typical overcrowded spots. Our writers have done an incredible job of inspiring and informing Afar’s audience of the world’s best travellers.”
The company said these places will provide something different for seasoned globe-trotters, aiming to inspire readers to explore new places they might not have considered, while maintaining Afar signature of thoughtful, sustainable tourism recommendations.
