Airbnb have just released their annual forecast of the best destinations to visit in the new year. The list is based on a combination of search, booking and wish list data, released by the travel giant to give holidaymakers a sense of where we’ve been looking and booking over the last few months. Their extensive data and insights could be a source of inspiration if you’re not sure where to head in 2019 — but are their suggested destinations really worth their salt?

So that you can find out what’s in store for you when you get to these hotly tipped holiday hotspots, we’ve chosen five destinations from Airbnb’s forecast linked up some incredible videos that will let you delve a little deeper before you plan your 2019 travel adventures. Enjoy!

Normandy

Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy, France

Airbnb think that the 75th anniversary of D Day could be driving interest in Normandy for 2019.

Whether your interest is in history or wine and cheese, Normandy has lots to offer in a picturesque setting.

Mozambique

Maputo, Mozambique

Mozambique is a veritable treasure trove of natural beauty, glorious southeast African sunshine, and a coastal region on the Indian Ocean. Perhaps the only surprising thing about Mazmabique’s inclusion on this list, is that it hasn’t been top of the radar before.

Santa Catarina

Garopaba, Santa Catarina, Brazil

This Brazilian state offers mountains, city breaks, and beaches, and has international influence thanks to the fact that Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Austria have all contributed to the culture on offer here.

Andalusia

Carmona, Andalusia, Spain

This region of southern Spain has been a popular tourist destination for decades, but it would seem the picturesque cities of Granada, Córdoba, and Seville will prove totally irresistible in 2019.

Taiwan

Taipei City, Taiwan

Airbnb has reported that Taiwan’s eastern districts of Daxi and Yujing are the focus of an increasing number of bucketlists for 2019. Daxi has an increasing variety of historic and culinary attractions, and is close enough to the capital to make a day trip do-able. Yujing offers a more remote experience, with its mango farms and hot springs.
