Destination Dupes
Ever since Expedia coined the term “Destination Dupes” as a projected travel trend for 2024, it has appeared everywhere!
A "destination dupe" refers to a place that provides a similar experience to a well-known, often overcrowded travel destination. These alternative spots are just as interesting and offer travelers the chance to explore less-visited, off-the-beaten-path locations. We're excited to contribute to the conversation by offering our recommendations!

Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg boasts baroque architecture, a rich musical heritage, and stunning Alpine scenery similar to Vienna but with a more relaxed atmosphere.
Instead of Costa Rica
Belize
With its abundance of wildlife, adventurous activities, and Mayan ruins, Belize provides a compelling alternative to Costa Rica for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
