People, especially Filipinos in the UAE nowadays, have seen a lot of the famous places, and are now looking for new ones to uncover and share to the world.

If you are one of those travelers who are wondering which places to visit next, check out these emerging destinations worthy of visiting:

Laos
Among all the countries in Southeast Asia, Laos is perhaps the one that is developing quite an interest among many seasoned travelers. For many of these expert adventurers, it is a genuine spiritual destination, where one can have a genuine opportunity to talk with the monks.

Bhutan
Where else can you find a Buddhist kingdom on the edge of the Himalayas? Or temples and monasteries perched atop cliffs and mountains? The serenity that Bhutan brings, coupled with dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plants to steep mountains and valleys, as well as almost non-existent internet reception, make it the perfect place to really feel the beauty of the world.

Uzbekistan
This is a great answer to the question “Where should I go next?” because of its destinations that feature a rich history, like the Great Silk Road—an ancient network of trade routes used for centuries as the cultural interaction of Asian and Europe. Aside from that, Uzbekistan also boasts grand colourful mosques that are truly a thing of beauty.
