Zoom Airlines

Well, 2015 is almost here and it’s time to start planning your trips for next year.  There are so many amazing, interesting and intriguing places to visit; we compiled a listing for our top ten travel destinations (in no particular order) for 2015.

1. Beijing, China – This ancient city boasts many sites like the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.  Be sure to also visit the Beijing Zoo for your once in a lifetime chance to witness Bengal tigers and the cute cuddly panda bear.
2. Namibia, Africa – A terrific place to go with family, this economically and politically stable African nation is a must see for 2015.  Consider how much your family would love touring the Sossusvlei dunes of the Namibia desert – by hot air balloon!  Or, why not sand board down the dunes instead.  An African safari is another must when in Namibia where you can experience wildlife in an unbelievable setting.
3. Northern Ireland – If you like history and beauty – but prefer a country that speaks English, then consider a trip to Northern Island.  Truly breathtaking, you can experience Dunlace Castle, The Mornes Stone and the mysterious Beaghmore Stone Circles.  Of course, you’ll want to spend some of your time enjoying the locals as you visit one of the many charming and fun pubs!
4. Salta, Argentina – You may never have heard of Salta, but it is a place you should strongly consider visiting.  You’ll enjoy amazing wine, breathtaking Spanish colonial architecture and an abundance of charm.  Adventurous types will enjoy whitewater rafting in the Juamento River or paragliding from Mount Bernardo!
5. North Island, Seychelles – If 2015 is your year to splurge, consider visiting the North Island. This secluded island has only 11 villas so you know you’ll be chilling without hoards of tourists. You can enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking and a spa while you take in the breathtaking surroundings.
6. Laos – If you’ve been to Laos, then you know it has some of the best sightseeing around. You can visit Southeast Asia’s largest waterfall and spend your time meandering around some the best preserved temples and monuments – anywhere. If you can, try to visit La Residence Phou Vao (an Orient Express resort) where you can enjoy the breathtaking vistas of the surrounding rivers and mountains as well as take pleasure in the lush gardens and infinity pool right on the resort site.
7. Antigua, Guatemala – This former capital had been the economical and political center of Guatemala for over 200 years before an earthquake decimated it in 1773. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring quaint cobblestone streets and active volcanoes. Put it on your must see vacation destination list!
8. Cairo, Egypt – Everyone needs to behold the legacy of the Ancient Egyptians at least once in their lifetime. If you visit, be sure to see Great Pyramids as well as shop the Khan El-Khalili bazaar.  Cairo is a rich and interesting city offering attractions that explore Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
9. Serengeti Plain, Tanzania – Viewing the Serengeti plains is like nothing else on earth. Enjoy spectacular views of lions, elephants and giraffes. You know you’ve always wanted to go on Safari, so dig out those binoculars and plan a trip to Tanzania!
10. Fiji’s Yasawa Islands – If you’ve seen the movie Castaway, then you already have a good idea of how the Yasawa Islands look.  Expect to see rugged peaks, emerald lagoons and lush vegetation – a true island paradise. Since 2000, dozens of village owned resorts have sprung up on some of the islands. These islands are the perfect place to experience amazing beaches, superb diving and snorkeling and the fabulous culture of the locals.
