6 Up-And-Coming Global Destinations, According To Trip Advisor

One of the thrills of traveling is the feeling -- however misguided -- that you have discovered a destination before the masses have. You were in Angkor Wat before restoration projects began, you saw Bruges before Colin Farrell publicized it as a f-ing fairytale, and Croatia? Please, you were there before Lonely Planet named it the top destination for 2005.

Thanks to TripAdvisor.com, there is now an easy way to search for and predict the next top destination. Each year, the site quantifies the greatest increases in positive traveler feedback and traveler interest to pinpoint which destinations are up-and-coming and, therefore, about to explode.

Trip Advisor recently released its results for 2013. Book your flights early and you may still beat the crowds.
