    Ohrid, Macedonia

    The end of the year is fast approaching, and it’s time for travelers to plan their next destinations for 2012. After all, if the end of the world is coming, better to go down doing what you like, right?

    Well, mumbo-jumbo aside, there are quite a few places that will be either very fashionable holiday destinations next year, or they will be too affordable not to visit. If you are planning any great outings next year, then you should put your thinking cap on and decide which one of the top 5 travel destinations for 2012 .

    Tokyo, Japan

    Japan has had a really bad 2011, and as unfortunate as that was for the Japanese, there is a bright side to it for tourists. Right now, tourism is great for the country’s economy, and it has also become more affordable for travelers, as both accommodation and travel expenses are cheaper now. Tokyo has many affordable attractions, like museums and galleries, and many of its sights are free (all the beautiful temples, parks and the plain spectacular spots like Harajuku or Ginza).

    Maseru, Lesotho

    There are quite a few great travel deals for those who want to visit Lesotho in the near future, and the many attractions of this South African country make it even more alluring.

    Lesotho has many virtually untouched natural wonders, and it is just as beautiful as its larger neighbor, South Africa, without being so expensive. You can explore the countryside on a pony’s back, trek into the mountains and enjoy the food and culture.

    Ohrid, Macedonia

    Macedonia has always been a great budget destination, and now it is becoming one of the most interesting and affordable destinations in Europe. The lively capital of Skopje and the beautiful medieval city of Ohrid are only a couple of the main draws of Macedonia, and they both offer various budget options for travel and accommodation. There are plenty of historical attractions to see, plus there are some stunning national parks where you can hike or camp.

    Merida, Mexico

    Many people visiting Mexico flock to the beaches on Yucatan peninsula, but if you want to experience Mexican culture, cuisine and history far from the overpriced tourist resorts, you should head inland to Merida, where you can stay in historical buildings turned into hotels and inns.

    Plus, there are tons of free sights in Merida, like museums and historical sites, and the nightlife and dining options are very affordable.

    Beirut, Lebanon

    Beirut has had its fair share of turbulent history, but nothing can keep this city from being fun and off-beat. There are luxury boutiques and private beaches as well as historical sites, architecture both old and new, souqs, museums and nearby natural attractions and an utterly amazing cuisine.
