Where to go on vacation?

Who doesn’t love to plan a vacation, right? The simple fact that you know your vacation is coming up is something that will have you looking forward to it.

Perhaps the most difficult decision to make when planning a vacation is where to go. Do you want to go somewhere you have been in the past and know you will enjoy? What about somewhere that is recommended by someone you know? Do you want to stick relatively close to home? What about going somewhere exotic?

When it comes to planning a vacation, more and more Canadians are planning trips to exotic travel destinations. People are travelling further distances and are looking for more unique travel experiences.

How about an exotic travel destination?

Here are 10 great exotic travel destinations worth considering:
