It’s official: when it comes to travel, “why” is the new “where”. This year is the year of the “whycation”. Rather than choosing a destination, true travel bliss is found in choosing a motivation, and finding where to best achieve it.
It could lead you to destinations that don’t always top travel lists, but are every bit as delightful as their more popular counterparts. Take Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur – all offer unique experiences, but are often overshadowed by nearby destinations. But if you’re asking “why” for your travel planning, each has a compelling case to make.
