2017年最佳旅游目的地
KAYAK北美地区市场营销副总裁戴维•索罗米图对《漫旅》杂志(Travel + Leisure)表示:“这本指南比去年的更加细化。”这是该公司第三次公布旅游指南,指南所依据的是超过1.5万亿条年度搜索结果。“我们恢复了预订时间部分,其中提供了在世界不同地区能够享受到预订优惠的高水平时间框架。” 最佳旅游目的地 这份旅游指南公布了不同类别的2017年最佳旅游目的地:热门、最受欢迎、海滩、省钱和家庭。 KAYAK公布的2017年热门旅游目的地为: 1. 古巴哈瓦那 2. 冰岛雷克雅未克 3. 新西兰奥克兰 4. 印尼巴厘岛 5. 日本东京 6. 哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳 7. 葡萄牙里斯本 8. 哥伦比亚麦德林 9. 加拿大卡尔加里 10. 澳大利亚悉尼 索罗米图表示:“我们认为,凭借有利的汇率,会有更多欧洲旅游目的地上榜,但事实上并非如此。”去年,有6座欧洲城市进入了10大热门旅游目的地。相反,因为奥巴马总统努力缓和了美国与岛国古巴的关系,因此古巴重新获得了关注,成为榜首,紧随其后的冰岛雷克雅未克,近几年也得到了越来越多游客的关注。 美元兑欧元的汇率本可能对其他旅游目的地产生影响,但索罗米图表示:“在热门海滩中,有两个加勒比海岛——马提尼克和瓜德罗普,均属于欧元区。” 若想逃离冬季的气候,KAYAK为你提供了下列热门海滩目的地: 1. 夏威夷茂伊岛 2. 马提尼克 3. 瓜德罗普 4. 泰国普吉岛 5. 新西兰奥克兰 6. 印尼巴厘岛 7. 斯里兰卡科伦坡 8. 马尔代夫 9. 日本冲绳岛 10. 澳大利亚悉尼 预订时间 KAYAK的旅游指南中最有价值的部分,则是关于不同旅游目的地预订时间的信息。 若要前往北美,前往大陆旅游目的地的机票价格,平均提前两至四周最为优惠。前往中南美洲、欧洲、非洲、亚洲和中东的机票价格,在出行前两至三个月预定最佳。 但这些只是总体的推荐信息,所以KAYAK还提供了一个工具,可根据出发地机场和预期旅游目的地,提供更具体的信息。 (财富中文网) 本文最初发表于《漫旅》杂志。 译者:刘进龙/汪皓 |
“The [guide] is a bit more granular than last year,” David Solomito, KAYAK's vice president of marketing in North America, told Travel + Leisure. This is the third time the company has released the guide, which is based on more than 1.5 billion annual searches. “We've added back our when to book section, which gives high level time frames for the sweet spot to book to different parts of the world.” TOP DESTINATIONS The travel guide identifies the top destinations for 2017 in several categories: trending, most popular, beach, wallet-friendly, and family. KAYAK's top trending destinations for 2017 are: 1. Havana, Cuba 2. Reykjavik, Iceland 3. Auckland, New Zealand 4. Bali, Indonesia 5. Tokyo, Japan 6. Cartagena, Colombia 7. Lisbon, Portugal 8. Medellín, Colombia 9. Calgary, Canada 10. Sydney, Australia “We thought with the favorable exchange rate, there'd be a lot more European destinations on the list, and there really weren't,” said Solomito. Last year, six European cities were in the top 10 trending destinations. Instead, Cuba—enjoying renewed attention after President Obama worked to thaw the relationship between the U.S. and the island nation—came in at the top, following by Reykjavik, Iceland, which has also seen increased interest in recent years. The dollar-to-euro exchange rate may have had an affect on other destinations, though: “When you look at trending beaches, two of the Caribbean islands—Martinique and Guadeloupe—are on the euro,” said Solomito. In case you're looking to escape some winter weather, the full list of trending beach destinations according to KAYAK includes: 1. Maui, Hawaii 2. Martinique 3. Guadeloupe 4. Phuket, Thailand 5. Auckland, New Zealand 6. Bali, Indonesia 7. Colombo, Sri Lanka 8. Maldives 9. Okinawa, Japan 10. Sydney, Australia WHEN TO BOOK Among the KAYAK guide's most useful features is information on when to book, depending on your destination. For travelers in North America, flights to destinations on the continent are priced best, on average, two to four weeks out. Flights to Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, however, are all best booked two to three months before travel. Those are just general recommendations, though, so KAYAK has included a tool that gives more specific information depending on your home airport and desired destination.
