Now that 2015 has begun, it is time to put all the resolutions into practice. Whether it’s the commitment to better one’s self, the excitement to try something new or to go beyond one’s comfort zone, the New Year is a great chance to put everything into practice.

If travelling is what you wished for, this is the perfect opportunity to discover the world.
Here is a list of 15 best travel destinations in 2015 compiled by analysing the growing demands of millennial travellers, the landscapes and the expansion of each country’s tourism industry, according to the Huffington Post.

Cuba

Cuba has been described as one of the greatest travel experiences possible and it has gained even more exposure after the U.S. restored diplomatic relations with it. Although it has always been perceived as an interesting travel destination with both history and magic settings, Cuba is said to become packed with travellers this year.

Iceland

Those who are not so fond of the sun might want this travel destination: Iceland. It has emerged as a travel destination thanks to its breathtaking beauty and sites like famous Strokkur geyser, the wonders of the Northern Lights and the natural hot springs of the Blue Lagoon.

Greece

When you say summer and relaxation, you say Greece! Although Athens is definitely a place to visit, the best thing about Greece is the islands that seize visitors’ hearts and convince them to return again and again. Mykonos is the perfect romantic getaway, while Santorini has the best beaches in the world.

Croatia

This country is the rough diamond of the Mediterranean. It is said to become a hot travel destination this year, thus putting its neighbours Greece and Italy in danger of becoming obsolete. It has turquoise waters, the softest beaches and countless islands that turn it into a hotspot.

Malaysia

Malaysia is a veteran when it comes to the world’s greatest travel destinations, especially because it has embraced both Indian and Chinese influences and has created the most appealing melange. Plus, for all the foodies out there, Malaysia offers some of the best cuisine on the planet.

Dubai

You cannot make a New Year’s resolution without including Dubai as a travel destination! One of the fastest growing tourist destinations welcomed 5.8 million visitors in the first six months of 2014, so the numberof travellers is expected to grow even bigger.

South Africa

Ebola has kept travellers away from Africa for quite some time, but now that people finally realized South Africa is Ebola-free, it is time to start packing. Tourists can experience authentic African safari trips, visit cosmopolitan cities such as Johannesburg and Cape Town or try some of the world’s finest wines.

Vietnam

Vietnam is one of Trip Advisor’s Destinations on the Rise for 2015, so it goes without saying that this country has become a massive attraction for all the avid travellers. Vietnam has breathtaking sceneries, limestone cliffs, but it is also a foodie heaven; the street food in Vietnam is to die for.

Japan

Over 13 million travellers have visited Japan last year and numbers are expected to increase. For a country which has been built upon ancient traditions, it is surprisingly Westernized. Wondering what is Japan’s most emblematic scenery? Cherry blossoms in the spring.

Egypt

Egypt remains a “must see” spot not only because of the countless attractions, but also because Egyptians are among the world’s most hospitable people. If history is what you wish to see, you will not be disappointed; nothing can top the Great Pyramid of Giza, King Tutankhamun’s tomb and the mythical Sphinx.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica received some 27 million tourists last year and experts predict this country will become a hotspot this year, too. This location is the jewel of Central America and includes tropical rainforests, volcanoes, cloud forests and coastline on both the Caribbean and Pacific.

China

China is another destination that travellers return to again and again because here the fascinating past and modern present give birth to one-of-a-kind experiences.

Peru

According to World Travel Awards, Peru remains a top culinary destination, placing it on a par with Thailand and France as one of the greatest foods nations in the world. Its national tastes become irresistible when mixed with European, African and Asian influences. Although some travellers visit Peru for Machu Picchu, others are attracted by the idea of making their taste buds happy.

Thailand

Thailand has made a comeback, so you should trust the 29 million visitors who visited this country in 2014. Thailand remains one of the most spiritual and beautiful destinations on the planet.

Australia

This is a country you definitely know like the palm of your hand, but hear me out. Nothing is better than knowing your own country, so exploring every piece of it, meeting all the friendly people and going on a road trip sounds like the recipe for a great vacation.
