15 Places To Visit This Decade (PHOTOS)

Huffington Post     First Posted: 3/24/10   Updated: 5/25/11

Buenos Aires, Krakow, Cambodia, Croatia -- these are just a few of the places that emerged as trendy, must-visit travel destinations during the first decade of the 21st century. So, where to this decade?

In an attempt to tentatively answer that question, we've drawn up a list of 15 places we think you should visit, or revisit, or at least consider visiting, over the course of the next decade. (Needless to say, a better economy would make this seem slightly more feasible.) From China to Colombia, Bangalore to Belfast, each of the destinations on the list provide, in their own way, a glimpse of how the world is changing and where it is headed.

And, of course, please let us in the comment section about the many great spots and undiscovered gems we failed to include.

Shenzhen, China
 
Located on the Pearl River Delta not far from Hong Kong, Shenzhen exemplifies China's rapid transformation into an economic giant. 30 years ago it was a sleepy port; today, it is a thriving industrial hub of 14 million people and one of the richest cities in China (and, not surprisingly, notorious for its smog.)
