With the new year looking to be a year of redemption and making up for the time lost after years of staying home and social distancing, a solid vacation is a must.

For this video, we’ll look at 5 travel destinations you should consider for 2023.

1. Naoshima, Japan

First on this list is one of Japan’s more underrated tourist destinations. Naoshima is a serene, calming destination that still has plenty to present.

Over the pandemic, many people have begun cultivating their inner artists. Naoshima has one of the most unique art experiences in the world, and is an encouraging environment for people to open up to creativity and inspiration.

2. Svalbard, Norway

As another underrated destination, Svalbard is another place people post-pandemic would love to unearth. One of the reasons why not many have decided to visit this place is because of difficulties traveling to it.

However, with travel restrictions being lifted, distance is the only challenge between you and a fantastic view. Wildlife encounters with Arctic foxes, seals, polar bears and reindeer, and even walruses are likely in Svalbard.

3. Marrakesh, Morocco

Setting itself apart from the past two on this list, Marrakesh is the perfect destination for artisanal goods and rekindling your social soul after years of staying at home and away from people.

With a mix of handmade items, unique cuisine, and an interesting people, you’re bound to enjoy socializing in this Morrocan destination.

4. Doha, Qatar

With Qatar hosting the recently concluded World Cup, the country has perfectly prepped its people and places for tourists.

Doha has plenty to offer for people looking for a great vacation. They have amazing buildings, spectacular museums, and several parks and resorts.

5. Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap is right in the heart of everything fun in Cambodia. With plenty of tourists flocking back to destinations previously filled with them, backpacker parties, spas, shopping malls, and hip hotels are all coming back.

If a fun and social vacation is what you’re looking for, Siem Reap has a great mix of that and a dash of temples and museums.

6. Valletta, Malta

Valletta is part of the three small islands that make up Malta. Despite being this small, it certainly doesn’t feel like it.

Great food, rich history and culture, and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites namely the capital city, the Megalithic Temples of Malta and the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, make for a worthwhile trip.
