WANNA BEAT THE CROWDS? HEAD TO ASIA
Twenty-four of the 25 fastest-growing tourism destinations are in Asia, according to travel website Travelsupermarket. The travel-deal website used data from research firm Euromonitor to compile a list of cities expected to see the fastest percentage growth in tourist arrivals by 2025 compared to last year — in other words, where you should be going before everyone else does.
In the number one spot is Jakarta, Indonesia, which had 3.6 million visitors in 2017 and is expected to welcome 6.2 million by 2025.
Next in the top 10, in order, are Denpasar, Indonesia; Jaipur, India; Cairo, Egypt; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Chennai, India; Agra, India; Phuket, Thailand; Delhi, India; and Siem Reap, Cambodia. The only spot outside of Asia that made the list was in Africa: Cairo.
