Travel Lemming, a US-based online travel guide read by more than 6 million travellers, on 15 November announced its list of the top 50 destinations in the world for 2023.

Bhutan was named the best place to travel in Asia next year, and the number 2 destination overall in the world.

The annual list of 50 best places to travel highlights emerging destinations and hidden gems around the world.

Carissa Nimah, Chief Marketing Officer of The Department of Tourism, Bhutan commented: “Bhutan has long practiced a policy of ‘high value, low volume’ tourism to protect and preserve its peace, its sacred places and its wilderness. Bhutan is already an incredibly alluring destination ... yet there are still so many more layers to be revealed and shared.”

Nimah continued: “We invite all travelers to visit Bhutan to experience the inspiration, mystique, spirituality, adventure and energy of Bhutanese culture. It’s an honour for us to be included in the list of the best places to travel for 2023. Welcome to Bhutan.”
In explaining why Bhutan was selected, the article says Bhutan “Is a special place with breath-taking scenery and the freshest air you will ever inhale.”

The annual list is a collaborative project of the publication’s team of more than 25 travel writers and editors.
The top 10 destinations on the list are:
• 1 - Lafayette, Louisiana
• 2 - Bhutan
• 3 - Utila, Honduras
• 4 - Ile Sainte Marie, Madagascar
• 5 - Kosovo
• 6 - Salento, Colombia
• 7 - Vanuatu
• 8 - Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia
• 9 - Uzbekistan
• 10 - Detroit, Michigan

By region, the full list of 50 destinations includes 7 destinations in Europe, 5 in Asia, 4 in South America, 4 in Oceania, 4 in Africa, 6 in North America (besides the US), and 20 in the United States.

Nate Hake, CEO of Travel Lemming, commented: “2023 is shaping up to be the year of ‘revenge travel,’ as travelers venture farther and go bigger with their trips. Our unique list of 50 hidden gems is the perfect source of inspiration for that once-in-a-lifetime trip to somewhere unique.”

Travel Lemming is an online travel guide with more than 6 million annual readers. It is known for its focus on encouraging travelers to go “off the lemming path.”

An ordinary person would take 20 days to reach Bumthang from Gasa on foot, according to the Tourism Council of Bhutan. But thirty runners are looking forward to complete it in five days during the Snowman race scheduled on October 13. Snowman race is a high altitude ultra-marathon, challenging the world’s fittest and most elite runners to help raise awareness on the impacts of climate change.
