The
Ultimate 2007 Top 10 Travel To Do List
(Santa Monica, CA) The annual year end polls have been tallied. All the
magazine reader surveys conducted. And the hottest travel blog's have
been monitored and the results for the Ultimate 2007 Top 10 Travel To Do
List are in! Here's the Top 10 things that travelers want to do in 2007:
10. Independent travelers want real in 2007! They want to participate in
real and authentic adventures--they want to trust strangers in strange
lands!
9. Overwhelmingly, travelers Dream Trip continues to be a singular quick
lap around the world.
8. Travelers want to visit world wonders; from man made wonders like:
the Taj Mahal, Portola Palace, Chichen Itza, Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu
and Petra. To natural wonders like: the Great Barrier Reef, The Nile,
the Himalayas, Victoria Falls, Rio Harbor and Mount Fuji.
7. Travelers are more globally conscious than ever. They are concerned
enough to want their trips to give something back to the world.
6. With the continued success of TV's Amazing Race, travelers are
yearning to participate in an actual global travel adventure
competition.
5. Independent travelers don't want preplanned, packaged and organized
tours--they want spontaneity, surprise and serendipity to overtake them
in their travels.
4. Cultural immersion is hot. Travelers want to participate actively in
their foreign environments and learn about the local traditions,
festivals, culture, religion and politics up close and personal.
3. Shopping continues to be a big sport and visiting some of the world's
great wet markets, historic bazaars and ancient souks to deal, or no
deal is a huge allure in traveling aboard.
2. Travelers love to eat and drink. Eating your way around the world
sampling exotic delicacies and traditional cuisines from Italy to China,
India to Morocco, is one of the greatest delights of traveling.
