Travel + Leisure Magazine’s annual list of the “50 best places to travel in 2024” has caused quite a stir, with some surprising and unconventional destinations making the cut. One of the most eyebrow-raising inclusions on the list is northern Pakistan, a region not typically associated with tourist travel.
For just 4 thousand dollars, readers have the opportunity to win a two-week walking tour of this stunning region, known for its striking topography, high-altitude lakes, and historic fortresses. The tour will be exclusively for women, with the tour operator, Intrepid Travel, touting it as a unique opportunity to visit areas that would be off-limits if men were to join the journey.
But it’s not just Pakistan that has raised eyebrows – other destinations such as Cleveland, Ohio and Saudi Arabia have also made the list. Cleveland, a city known for its high crime rate, and Saudi Arabia, where a new eco-hotel is the highlight, are certainly controversial choices for a travel list.
It’s unclear whether Travel + Leisure magazine chose these unconventional destinations to compete with other more banal lists or if they genuinely believe these places are worth visiting. Whether these choices are meant to be provocative or not, they have certainly sparked discussion and debate within the travel community.
While some may be intrigued by the opportunity to visit these unconventional destinations, others may be more hesitant, especially given the current geopolitical climate. Regardless, it is clear that travel trends are constantly evolving, and the definition of a desirable travel destination is different for everyone.
