The 10 Coolest Places To Go In The Next 10 Years, According To Experts

For years now, I’ve been asking some of the smartest people in travel about what’s on their radar for the coming years. These super-agents know what they’re talking about, keeping their ears on their clients’ interests, their eyes on their own adventures in every corner of the world and their fingers on the pulse of the industry.

But this uncertain year, as I was getting into it, something dawned on me: What’s the big rush? This places aren’t going to evaporate. If right now doesn’t make sense, there will be a time in the coming years when it makes more sense than ever.

I tapped a few of the people I check in with every year. Tom Marchant co-founder of luxury travel company Black Tomato. Jennine Cohen is an adviser with the newly rebranded adventure travel company Uncharted and the cofounder of Women Travel Leaders. And Andrea Ross is a travel coach at the newly formed Kaanect, which helps people travel more consciously. Here’s what’s (alphabetically) on their radar.

Bend, Oregon

“Bend is to Oregon, in many ways, what Aspen is to Colorado,” says Marchant: “Well-heeled, brimming with vibrant restaurants and shops, enveloped by a veritable outdoor mecca and supported by a talented artistic community. This laid-back, under-the-radar enclave is full of character and host to a steady lineup of seasonal activities, from festivals to concerts, bike races to brewery hops. But it’s the natural world that is truly the draw from fly fishing, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, and even explore lava tubes to learn more about what makes the soil of the area so unique.” Black Tomato’s new trip combines Bend and the Willamette Valley, with lava tube cave expeditions and helicopter tours.
