As we enter the final quarter of 2022, many people have started planning their New Year’s holiday trips. This is also the time when travelers can take advantage of early-year promotions from airlines and hotels.
Wanderlust writer Elizabeth Atkin has compiled a list of the top 20 destinations in the world for readers to choose as a good place to start the new year.
Accordingly, Vietnam is praised by prestigious magazines as a safe destination. The weather at the beginning of the year is relatively pleasant when the climate is mostly sunny and dry. At this time, the North is no longer too cold compared to the South. Most of the tourist crowds have also left after the Christmas holiday, so if you choose to come to Vietnam at this time, everyone has the opportunity to experience a truly peaceful country.

If you have time to spare, take the time to explore the country. Author Atkin affirms that visitors will never get bored when setting foot on the diverse lands here: From ancient Hoi An, peaceful Hanoi, bustling Ho Chi Minh City or quiet, tranquil Hue, suitable for those who want to find peace and leisurely on bicycles.
Beautiful nature covers the entire S-shaped land. From the beautiful Ha Long Bay or Lan Ha Bay, visitors can easily travel to Cat Ba Island. Exploring the world's largest cave Son Doong or witnessing the rare golden-haired langur is also an experience not to be missed.

In addition, the journey to explore the Mekong River and neighboring Vietnam, Laos, was also selected by Atkin for this list. January is considered the right time to visit Laos when the temperature only fluctuates around 24 degrees Celsius.
A range of activities are suggested for first-time visitors to Laos, including exploring ancient temples, climbing Mount Phou Si, travelling along the Mekong River to the southern regions or admiring the sight of the Mekong's most majestic waterfall, Khon Phapheng, often referred to as the 'Niagara of Asia'.
The remaining destinations selected by Wanderlust for the list are Norway, Malé (Maldives), Los Angeles (USA), Slovenia, Barbados, Nicaragua (Honduras and El Salvador), Hill Country (Sri Lanka), Panama, Antarctica, Macaws (Peru), England, Poland, Tanzania, India, Scotland, Sweden, Australia.
