1 周A very interesting list and definitely an intriguing take on what future trending destinations will look like. I hope that with the rise of visitors to places with vulnerable wildlife and environmental concerns, such as Antarctica, we can continue to champion sustainable tourism. It’s vital to leave these areas in better condition than we found them and to provide education on critical issues like climate change and species protection. Thank you for sparking important conversations alongside inspiring travel ideas!
