Cuba

El Capitolio in Havana, Cuba.

--

Ever since Beyonc and Jay Z very publicly vacationed in Cuba in April 2013, the small

Caribbean country has been on the forefront of American travelers' minds.

Cuba has been off-limits to Americans since the '50s, but it's now easier to visit the small

island than it has been in decades, thanks to more relaxed travel restrictions and

an increase in tour operators offering legal ways to see the country. That means that more

and more Americans are traveling to Cuba now. In fact, the number of Americans visiting

Cuba grew by more than 20,000 in 2012 alone.

And tourists who are venturing there are finding that the country remains incredibly

beautiful, and often untouched by the outside modern world.

A night market in Bangkok.

--

More than 11 million tourists visited Bangkok as of August 2013, and the city

is anticipating 15.98 million international arrivals by the end of the year, which would make it

the No. 1 destination for tourists in 2013.

That number is bound to grow next year, as Thailand's capital city continues to develop its

tourism infrastructure. Several new hotels are set to open in Bangkok in 2014, including the

Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok and the Hyatt Place Hotel.

With its centuries-old temples, modern nightlife and restaurants, and incredible food, it's

easy to see why Bangkok is a favorite city for tourists from around the world . The city caters

to everyone and every price point. Whether its from a street vendor or an expensive

upmarket restaurant, the food in Bangkok is incredible. There's also a wide variety of

accommodations from cheap hostels and budget hotels around Kaosan Road to high-end

luxury properties, like the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok.

First Friday Art Walk in Portland, ME.--

America's otherPortland has been gaining a reputation as a funky low-key destination that

prizes quality food and cutting-edge art.

More and more talented chefs have been flocking to the coastal New England city, opening

upscale restaurants like Fore Streetand Petite Jacqueline. But there's also great casual

fare, like tacos, burgers, and cupcakes from food trucks, and of course tons of lobster.

Meanwhile, the city's art scene is thriving. That's to be expected, since it's home to dozens

of edgy galleries and artist collaboratives, the Maine College of Art, and the Portland

Museum of Art,located in the heart of the Arts District. Visit in the beginning of the month toexperience a First Friday Art Walk,when artists display their works on the streets and

musicians and performance artists entertain the crowds.

Visitors will have no shortage of hotel options, as the city is expecting to open 500 new

rooms in the next two years. Until then, stay in a quaint inn like thePomegranate Inn, which

features fireplaces in the rooms and cool art exhibits that change regularly.

And while there's plenty going on here year-round, the best time to visit is undoubtedly

during the summer.

Tel Aviv, Israel

A Tel Aviv beach.

--

Tel Aviv has always been one of the most popular tourist destinations in Israel and the

Middle East, for that matter but it's blown up recently thanks to its growing reputation as

a gay-friendly tourist destination and tech hub.

The cosmopolitan oceanfront city has been billing itself as a gay-friendly destinationfor a

while now, but it really cemented its reputation as a gay travel destination in June,

when France's first married gay couple chose to very publicly honeymoon in the Israeli

beach city.

The city has also become a startup and tech hub in the Middle East, earning the unofficial

title of "Silicon Wadi."Google has a crazy office there, as does Amazon, Facebook, and

thousands of startups.

boom.

architecture, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Croatia is also famous for its fresh

Mediterranean-style food and wine.

Delta is the ideal place to experience one.

lions, hippos, leopards, and more.

Brazil

Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

---

2014 will undoubtedly be a big year for Brazil as the country will host the 20th FIFA World

Cup in June and July. Matches will take place all over the country, from Brasilia and Rio to

Salvador and So Paulo. Just two years later, Rio will host the 2016 Olympics.

As a result, the country has been undergoing massive construction projects as it prepares

to welcome the millions of tourists and athletes who will descend on the country over the

next few years.

That meanscleaning up the notoriously dangerous favelas in Rio, building new stadiums

around the country, and upgrading hotels and restaurants to accommodate the crowds.

While Brazilians have complained about the rapid development with mass protests last

summer,many people believe that these changes will improve the country.

Regardless, there's no denying that big change and big crowds are coming to Brazil next

year.

Diving in the Great Barrier Reef.

--

The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system off the coast of Queensland

Australia, is one of the world's greatest natural treasures.It's a protected UNESCO World

Heritage Site and is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

It's teeming with colorful marine life, including whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and more than

1,500 fish species, that visitors explore by scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, or boating.

However, the reef is in danger of disappearing, due to overfishing, overboating, pollution,

and climate change. Environmental groups are fighting to protect the reef, but some say it

may be too little too late, as almost half the Great Barrier Reef has died in the last 50 years.

That means that visitors who dream of one day snorkeling or diving in the reef should do it

now, while it's still active. While there, stay at the Qualia hotel on Hamilton Island,

overlooking the Great Barrier Reef, which was recently named the world's best hotel by

Cond Nast Traveler.

Makes sense that the city is building hotels at a record pace, as it has to keep up with the

growing number of tourists. Almost 6 million tourists visited Austin as of August 2013, and

more are expected for 2014.

The city's slogan is "Keep Austin Weird," and residents make sure that stays true by

keeping the city's culture quirky and eclectic. Austin is a cultural hub with live musicperformances, film screenings, and readings all over the city every night. It hosts the

annual Austin City Limits Music Festival and the music, film, and interactive SXSW

Festival. Last yearMovieMaker Magazine named Austin the No. 1 city for filmmakers.

Nicaragua

The Corn Islands in Nicaragua.

--

Nicaragua has been hailed as the next Costa Rica for some time now, but tourism to the

Central American country has recently skyrocketed, with over 600,000 touristsvisiting the

country during the first part of 2013 alone.

It still remains a great-value destination Managua is one of the 10 cheapest cities in the

world and it has the same gorgeous white-sand beaches, untouched wildlife refuges, and

great surfing, snorkeling and diving opportunities as its slightly more expensive neighbors,

like Costa Rica and Belize. Most visitors come to this eco-friendly destination for some sortof adventure, whether it's surfing, hiking on a volcano, or diving with sea turtles.

People love the Corn Islands, a 17th-century pirate hideout on the Caribbean coast, which

has secluded beaches, vibrant marine life, and cheap lodging options that can cost as little

as $10 per night.

Over the past few years, Berlin has gained a reputation as one of Europe's coolest cities.

With its underground nightclubs, cool bars, and edgy shops, the city has a gritty yet exciting

feel. Of course there's also highbrow culture and great museums, including the PergamonMuseumand the Jewish Museum, but people often come here to experience the city's

exciting nightlife and shopping.

The city is also home to tons of cool hotels, including the Waldorf Astoria Berlin, which

opened in early 2013, and Das Stue, which TripAdvisor named one of the hottest new

hotels in Europe.

And while it's not exactly remote now, Germany's capital city will be much easier to access

once the city's modern new Brandenburg Airport opens. The opening date has been

repeatedly delayed, but it looks like the $5.4 billion project will open sometime in 2014.

BONUS: Space

Virgin Galactic's Spaceship Two.

--

For those who can afford it, space travel isn't that far away. Sir Richard Branson has

announced that he expects to launch the inaugural flights of his commercial space venture,

Virgin Galactic, by 2014.

For now, though, only wealthy people will have the privilege of venturing into space

flights aboard the spacecraft cost $250,000 per person.
