VirtualTourist, the largest online travel research site and travel community in the world, reveals destinations -- in the United States and internationally -- forecasted to experience the greatest surge in travel buzz this spring.
VirtualTourist, consisting of 100% user-generated travel content, draws over five million travelers monthly, who research upcoming trips and share travel reviews, tips and photos from previous trips. Travelers ask and answer questions in the travel forums, and create custom travel guides with VirtualTourist's Trip Planner tool.
"Time and again we see the little-known gems find their way onto the road more frequently traveled. For the tourist not fond of crowds, the trick is to see these places before everybody knows about them. So that means see them now!" said Giampiero Ambrosi, General Manager of VirtualTourist. "In recent years we've seen the popularity status of countries like Croatia and Costa Rica quickly move from 'off the radar' to mainstream. Today's travelers' buzz points to cities like Salamanca in Spain, and Kotor, Montenegro."
Ambrosi added, "Some places, such as Canada's ski destination Whistler may already be considered a hot spot during a particular season but may not be as 'discovered' at other times of year. In spring and summer in Whistler, you can hike, ride a gondola and see incredible wildlife."
VirtualTourist analyzes the feedback and posting research activities of more than five million monthly unique users to determine the world's up-and-coming travel destinations. The VirtualTourist Up-and-Comers Index pinpoints locales that have experienced significant increases in interest over the past 12 months.
