About Regional
Regional travel in 2025 shows remarkable diversity with Middle East tourism at 132% of pre-pandemic levels while Asia-Pacific presents opportunities at 13% below 2019 numbers.
The rise of "destination dupes" like Corsica (replacing Seychelles) and Bacalar Mexico (Maldives alternative) reflects travelers seeking authentic experiences away from overtouristed spots.
With 56 countries now offering digital nomad visas and "slowmad" culture emphasizing longer, meaningful stays, regional directories serve as essential discovery tools for the 1.4 billion international tourists navigating this $1.9 trillion industry.
