By on November 29, 2012

Each year, a slew of destinations round the world become the next “it” cities, enticing vacation planners with new attractions, festivals or revamped tourism initiatives. One thing never changes, though: Traveling to new places will always be fun. So get your planners ready and start figuring out where the year 2013 will take you.

If you are leaning toward a getaway to the remote wilderness, then set your sights on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The island has maintained a raw, natural beauty since the 18th and 19th centuries when fishermen dominated the land, and today, the preserved land appears ageless, with dozens of hiking trails for you to explore. According to National Geographic, the best times to go are between May and October.

It might not be a surprise that the Caribbean is still one of the hottest places to vacation. Grenada, however, stands out for its unspoiled beaches and towns not yet completely taken over by cruise ships and resorts. The capital city, St. George’s, demonstrates its sheer diversity, blending African, European and Indian traditions into one beautiful melting pot that you’ll certainly enjoy experiencing.
