Planning your vacation for 2024? Lonely Planet, the travel experts, have just unveiled their Best in Travel guide for the year, and it’s packed with exciting destinations to explore. 

To mark their 50th anniversary, they’ve handpicked 50 travel spots that they highly recommend for 2024. The list covers the best regions, cities, sustainable locations, and best-value destinations, including the top countries.

So, which country steals the spotlight? It’s none other than Mongolia, a landlocked nation in central Asia, rich in nature and wildlife. This isn’t the first time Mongolia has been in the limelight; it also secured the top spot on Time Out’s list of underrated travel destinations. Nestled in the mountains, Mongolia stands as one of the highest countries globally, and its capital city, Ulaanbaatar, is where modern life harmonizes with traditional Mongolian culture.

Following closely behind is India, taking the second spot. Thanks to increased flights to hubs like Delhi, Goa, and Kerala from Europe and the US, India is becoming more accessible for travelers. India, with its Himalayan landscapes, bustling markets, historic temples, and delectable cuisine, offers a splendidly diverse experience.

St Lucia, a hidden gem in the eastern Caribbean, claims the third spot in Lonely Planet’s recommendations for 2024 travel. Despite being a small island, St Lucia packs a punch with its mesmerizing blend of mountains and beaches. While it’s renowned for its scenic beauty, tourism officials are now highlighting St Lucia’s captivating cultural heritage.
