World Travel Trends for Winter 2019

Winter can be a wonderful time of year for travel. You’ll find remarkable landscapes during the winter months. Ice on trees and snow-blanketed hills are a visual masterpiece. Of course, winter won’t suit everyone’s tastes, which is why travel to warm climates is also popular from January through March. Our team has come up with some ideas for traditional winter travels and sizzling escapes for 2019.

Traditional Winter Wonderlands
Whether you vacation for a full week or simply enjoy a weekend trip, we believe a getaway can brighten the bleak winter months. If you are looking for a snowy adventure, here are some places to enjoy:

• Colorado:If you love to ski, you’ll most certainly enjoy a trip to Colorado this winter. For example, Breckenridge is a quaint and scenic Colorado town in the Rocky Mountains. Ski resorts and lodges from Aspen to Vail also cater to visitors with activities and package deals all winter long.
• Europe: If time and budget allows, places like Switzerland and France boast some of the world’s best skiing options in the upper elevations of the Alps. Search travel sites for great deals on airfare between the U.S. and Europe, and be sure to check hotels and resorts for ski promotions.
• North Carolina: What says winter like staying in a cozy log cabin in The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina? Cities like Boone, Asheville, and other high elevation areas offer no shortage of wintry activities like snow tubing, food festivals, and skiing (of course) to attract people from around the world.

Hot Winter Travel Trends for 2019

If mountain and snow do not appeal to you, there are some alternative places for traveling this winter. Consider these places for your global adventures in 2019.

• Egypt:After years of instability, Egypt is now a much safer place to travel. Cairo is a metropolitan city with top-notch hotels, restaurants, and museums. Then, of course, there are also the amazing historical pyramids and landmarks to see throughout the country.
• Australian West Coast: The eastern coast of Australia has long been the area that sees the most travelers, but that is all changing now. In 2019, the west coast is the place to be! Perth is a great jumping off point for further west coast exploration and is also a bustling foodie destination. And remember, it is summer down under now.
• Caribbean: Hurricane Irma ravaged so much of the Caribbean, but many of the countries are bouncing back and would love to host tourists. Choosing to spend your money in the Caribbean will bring the businesses there some much-needed cash flow.
• Mexico City: Mexico has always been a hot destination for travel, but the beaches may have to take a back seat to the capital city in 2019. Mexico City has a ton to offer for the whole family at price points from luxury to budget-friendly.
