Every year I receive the Kuoni Worldwide Travel Report, which shares lots of fascinating insights about the travel industry for the year ahead. The 2020 report just came through, so I thought I would share the Top 10 Best Selling Destinations for 2020, as reported by Kuoni. I was amazed and felt a little smug when I realised I have already visited all of the Top 10 travel destinations for 2020, which means my blog has also covered all the most popular destinations for 2020! But I also thought the list may come in handy for any of you looking for some 2020 travel inspiration. I have linked to one of my blog posts under each destination, in case you fancy some extra Travelista reading on that place.
1. Maldives
I had the trip of a lifetime to the Maldives in 2016 but would love to return again with my family. Read Memories of The Maldives

5. Bali
Bali was one of the most memorable trips of my life. I visited with a group of journalists on a press trip and whilst I was going through some difficult personal times, this trip gave me so much peace and clarity. I will never forget staying at the Four Seasons Sayan. Read 7 Incredible Things To do in Bali
6. Italy
Italy is without a doubt my favourite country in the world and I will continue to return to the country all my life. There are so many diverse destinations and regions in this country. My most recent trip was to Puglia, but I have also covered Rome, the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia on the blog. Read My Guide to the Pretty Towns of Puglia
7. USA
There is so much more of the USA that I want to see including the Deep South, but my two most recent trips include Florida and New York City. Read A First Timer’s Guide to New York City
8. Vietnam
Scott and I spent an epic 3 weeks in Vietnam when we travelled from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City via Sapa, Halong Bay, Hoi An and Nha Trang. My 3 week itinerary for Vietnam has been my most popular blog post to date.
9. Antigua
It’s so nice to see that the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua has made its way into the Top 10. Having been to Antigua myself, I can totally understand why it makes the list. Friendly people, fantastic creole food and paradise beaches. Read Taking Part in the Antigua Carnival
10. South Africa
South Africa is a place I would love to return to after visiting Cape Town. I fell in love with the city but would love to explore further a field and visit Jo’Burg, Durban and the Kruger National Park. Read 10 Amazing Things To Do in Cape Town, South Africa
How many of the Top 10 Travel Destinations for 2020 have you visited? Or are you planning to visit one of these destinations this year? I’d love to hear what you think and where you’re going.

Love your list of destinations above. I’ve been to all except for Antigua and Mauritius but Vietnam has been the jewel for me in South East Asia! Loved it!
