Seven best new and affordable places to travel to in 2024

An unforgettable trip is a dream for many people. At first glance, it may seem like an expensive pleasure. However, with the right planning and financial management, it can be affordable even for tourists on a tight budget.

If your wanderlust drives you to visit places you've never been before, consider new and affordable destinations in 2024. The list was prepared by aol.com.

Amboseli National Park, Kenya

Most safari vacations offer rustic accommodations, and staying at Angama Amboseli means you'll be sleeping in a tent. However, you'll also get to contemplate the majesty of African elephants in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. The resort celebrates the local indigenous community in its architecture and culinary offerings.

Busan, South Korea

While K-pop stars BTS may have put Busan on the map, an influx of new resorts is keeping it there. The new Windham property brings together many beach resorts on the Sea of Japan. Foodies will want to consider Busan as it will welcome a new Michelin guide this year.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Ocean views and a thriving maritime economy have long been associated with Nova Scotia, but now this seaport boasts a new tech industry. The newly renovated waterfront area is home to a royalty-free brand with restaurants, art galleries, and a five-star hotel.

Kangaroo Island, Australia

This Australian destination rebuilt much of what was lost to wildfires in 2020, and several new resorts will open this year. Cabn X is an affordable option with small houses in a modern style, and the Southern Ocean Lodge, destroyed by fire, has been rebuilt and is now open.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

The DR has long been known as an affordable Caribbean destination, but now it is also recognized as a luxury destination. Several new resorts in Punta Cana will open this year, including the St. Regis Cap Cana, Sanctuary Cap Cana, and the new W Hotel. Many resorts are all-inclusive, and some accept adults only.

Quito, Ecuador

Most travellers visit Quito on their way to the Galapagos Islands, but the Ecuadorian capital has recently undergone a renaissance that makes it a destination. An expanded metro has reduced congestion and made it easier for non-locals to get around. New shops, galleries and restaurants have a lot to offer visitors, and the weather is mild all year round.

Transylvania, Romania

Beautiful castles and a rich history will prove that Transylvania is known for more than just vampires. Try Bethlen Estates near many historical sites, including Bran Dracula castle, for a luxury experience. For relaxation, there is a walking safari and prayer with monks, all with views of the Carpathian Mountains.
