When travel finally opened to Cuba, everyone said, "You have to go now before it's ruined!" I have a different take. I think more Cuba tourism could--potentially--bolster its economy and provide more opportunities for preserving its unique heritage. That's a far cry from "ruined" to me.

But if you're interested in visiting places like Cuba before they become overrun with tourists (and, in extreme cases, have to start telling people not to come), then you may want to bump these 10 on-the-rise destinations to the top of your travel list. Not because they will be "ruined," but because they will definitely see more visitors.
