00:11 Here at Afar, we're pretty opinionated.

00:17 And of course, we love to travel.

00:19 So every November, December, we share

00:21 what we think are the best places

00:22 to visit in the year ahead.

00:24 And this year, we've got 25 places

00:26 because there are just so many cool things happening

00:28 around the world.

00:40 to open the largest public black art project in the country.

00:45 It's going to be through an open air museum called

00:47 Destination Crenshaw.

00:48 On top of that, new restaurants are popping up

00:51 all over the city.

00:54 Manchester's arts and culture scene

00:56 is definitely one to watch right now.

00:59 And it got even better when Factory International opened

01:02 a permanent year-round art space for multimedia performances

01:05 and out there events a few months ago.

01:09 Visit Lamu Island off the coast of Kenya

01:12 for its unique Swahili-style architecture, winding streets,

01:15 and golden beaches.

01:16 Take a wooden thousand sailboat out at sunset

01:18 and admire the mangrove forests and peaceful atmosphere.

01:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:24 Fiji is a leader in marine conservation,

01:27 with resorts planting mangroves and restoring coral reefs.

01:30 You can take part in many of these sustainable efforts,

01:33 especially now that several resorts even

01:35 have in-house marine biologists.

01:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:40 Sankits used to be known for its sugar and rum industries,

01:42 which employed enslaved Africans.

01:45 Travelers coming to the Caribbean island in 2024

01:48 can taste and explore the complex history

01:50 of Ketishan rum making with locally owned companies

01:52 like Old Road Rum.

01:56 Starting in 2024, there are going

01:58 to be many new ways to experience Norway

02:00 beyond the classic Northern Lights trip.

02:03 And you'll definitely want to come to the country hungry,

02:06 because 2024 is also the 20th anniversary of the New Nordic

02:09 Food Manifesto.

02:12 If you love the outdoors, Bhutan is the place for you.

02:16 I mean, the Himalayan mountains are right there.

02:19 And if the remote villages and centuries-old fortresses

02:22 of the Trans-Bhutan Trail aren't enough to convince you to come,

02:25 the country actually lowered its fee to $100 a day

02:28 to attract more travelers.

02:31 Toronto has some of the most exciting festivals in 2024,

02:35 like the Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival and the Toronto

02:38 Caribbean Carnival.

02:39 The restaurant scene is known to be

02:41 just as diverse with places like Little Jamaica and Little

02:44 Tibet, which is no surprise considering that around 180

02:47 languages are spoken here.

02:51 Many people come to Rome to check off bucket list places

02:53 like the Vatican or the Colosseum.

02:55 But thanks to a whole bunch of luxury hotel openings in 2023,

02:59 staying longer is looking better and better.
