Inside: 6 of our favorite travel alternatives |
| | Destination dupes for your next adventure, up to 75% off | By Anne Bauso | Source: Travelzoo | | What's the big deal? "Destination dupes" has become one of the biggest trends in travel this year. If it's new for you, let us explain. Everyone loves to travel to the world's most popular places. But there are more unexpected, less crowded, and very often more affordable alternatives to be discovered. While the list of "dupes" can grow long, six of our favorites are below. We've also negotiated hotel offers in these cities & regions that save up to 75% when compared to regular rates. Montreal instead of Paris: The street signs are in French and baguettes fill boulangerie windows. Yep, this is as European as it gets on our continent. Louisville instead of Charleston: Both waterside cities ooze Southern charm, with notable Victorian architecture and a robust craft brewery/distillery scene. Solvang instead of Copenhagen: Pastry shops, Christmas boutiques, half-timbered facades, and a Hans Christian Andersen Museum. It's all here in this California town. South Africa's Eastern Cape instead of Western Cape: Pristine and less developed beaches, more intimate (and private) conservancies and ancient traditions are standouts of the Eastern Cape vs. its western neighbor. Napa instead of Tuscany: Napa Valley's hundreds of wineries, scenic rolling hills, fantastic food and thermal hot springs make it a compelling alternative to Tuscany. Khao Lak instead of Phuket: Swap Phuket's notorious crowds and chaos for Khao Lak, a secluded coastal region on the Thailand mainland with less tourism and development.
