EUROPE STILL TOP OF<br />
GLOBAL TRAVELLERS’<br />
WISH LISTS THIS<br />
SUMMER<br />
A survey in June by Virtuoso<br />
unveiled this summer’s mustvisit<br />
recommendations from<br />
professional travel advisors.<br />
The love for Europe endures<br />
and it factors prominently<br />
on the list due to interest in<br />
cultural trips. This summer<br />
has been the ideal time to<br />
venture to the continent due<br />
to the low euro.<br />
Topping travellers’ wish lists<br />
this summer:<br />
• A river cruise down the<br />
Danube where tuckedaway<br />
villages and historic<br />
highlights converge in<br />
countries such as Hungary,<br />
Austria and Germany<br />
• Portugal, a less crowded<br />
and more affordable<br />
option than other Western<br />
European destinations<br />
• Iceland, an emerging<br />
destination popular for its<br />
adventure and family travel<br />
opportunities<br />
• Peru’s Andean Explorer, the<br />
new luxury train<br />
• Ottawa, Canada’s capital,<br />
to celebrate the country’s<br />
150 th birthday<br />
• The Galapagos Islands,<br />
especially for trips with kids<br />
Speaking of islands, in this<br />
edition’s “elite travel trends”<br />
section, we take a peek at<br />
some of the hottest spots<br />
to watch when it comes to<br />
private island retreats!<br />
