2022 has been a great year for travel, and 2023 is shaping up to be a very promising year for traveling domestically and internationally.  We’ve already caught on to some trends of what those of us in the United States have been booking or are interested in so far, so let’s see what destinations are popular for next year!

There’s been a lot of buzz around the United Kingdom recently, but not exactly where you might expect. Of course, travelers looking for cheaper airfare are going to be flying in and out of larger cities like London, Edinburgh, and even Belfast. Trends show that more interest, however, is in the smaller idyllic towns or areas just off the beaten path. Travelers want to experience the fairytale charm and stunning natural beauty surrounding places like the Cotswolds and Lake District.

What’s really caught the eye of travelers, is the Scottish Highlands.  Interest in this beautifully rugged landscape of mountains and lochs has been exceptionally high.  A great way to see this area is by booking a tour.  One of Quest Travel Club’s hidden gems, you can peruse the hundreds of offerings within the Worldwide Tours tab under the Lifestyle section.  There are many tours that take you through the highlands that start and begin in convenient locations like Edinburgh, Glasgow, and even London.

Another trending destination for 2023 is Portugal.  A great spot to spend your summer vacation, this country makes for a very affordable vacation destination.  Lisbon is and is still going to be incredibly popular, but there are other beautiful destinations along the coastline that make for a great getaway—after all, you won’t be too far from the ocean wherever you go. 

Visit Porto for its world-famous port wine and colorful architecture.  Or, explore stunning beaches, cliffs, and the walled old town of Lagos.  The RCI Exchange has an incredible number of resorts listed in their directory, so you won’t have any trouble at all finding accommodations that fit your needs.

While we’re taking a look at what RCI has to offer, we’ll find a seemingly endless number of options boasting perfect locations for luxury offerings in our next trending destination of 2023: Mexico.  Always a favorite for Americans, it seems that nothing has changed.  Playa del Carmen seems to be piquing people’s interest more than normal, but check out what’s available in the regions offered by RCI. The Baja Peninsula and the Pacific Coast are always popular spots, but you can find tremendous deals on gorgeous resorts in Cancun.
