Every January I sit down with the trade-show notes, the travel forecasts, and my own running list of “wow, that’s new” hotels and openings — then I distill it down to the destinations I think will define the year ahead. For 2026, the list spans Costa Rica’s Papagayo Peninsula and the Italian Dolomites to Sri Lanka, Okinawa, and a handful of quieter U.S. corners worth flying for. Take a look — and if one of them sparks a real plan, I’d love to help you build the trip around it.
Happy Travels!
