For the animal lover. In Africa, Botswana remains peaceful and prosperous, and its exceptionally well-managed wildlife areas offer a bright spot amid the enveloping environmental gloom.

Scandinavia

For the food lover. Scandinavia has added appeal in uncertain times, and both Norway and Denmark have seen promising hotel debuts. Denmark in particular has undergone a gastronomic revolution to become a genuine food lover’s destination.

Berlin

For the traditionalist. Despite France’s political and economic tribulations, Bordeaux has shrugged off the malaise to become a provincial city of real charm and style.

Myanmar

For the wanderer. In Asia, Myanmar continues to fling open its doors — and now is the time to visit before the beguiling atmosphere of Old Asia is subsumed by modernity.

Bhutan

New Zealand

For the easygoing. Hospitable New Zealand — to say nothing of the country’s stellar food and wine — is the perfect antidote to the routine madness of the nightly news.

Japan

For the trendsetter. Japan is as clean, orderly, polite and culturally fascinating as ever (and more affordable if the currently favorable dollar/yen exchange rate persists).
