规划度假之所以这么难，往往不是缺少选项，而是选项过多：决策瘫痪被视为首要原因（八项之首），资讯过载第二。再加上假期天数有限、想在探索与放松间取平衡、以及经济不确定性，任何取舍都像高风险赌注。这份第10届年度旅游指南以2026年为目标，精选25个目的地，并强调以价值取代过度拥挤与高溢价，许多地方可找到每晚低于500美元的高端饭店。
清单的形成历时一年：追踪数百个来源的新闻、与全球可信的旅游专家交叉验证，并派记者前往趋势第一线。指南还提供互动式规划：选择出发城市即可查看逐月的机票与饭店成本预估。其核心是来自Kayak约25亿笔资料；为了汇整彭博2026热门目的地的逐月价格，Kayak另考量了9,000万笔航班资料点与25亿笔饭店资料点。由于全年新增航线与机场等变化，价格预期会波动；AI Mode可用来找最便宜的出发日与最佳订票时机。
目的地条目也以具体数字呈现趋势与体验尺度：例如阿根廷Barreal距门多萨以北140英里，新整修旅舍有10间客房与2栋别墅，附近「陆地帆船」最高可达每小时75英里；义大利萨丁尼亚一方面新增直飞（5月达美自纽约开航），一方面迎来一间83房的文华东方；加彭在3,000万美元资助下推进保育，保护约30%国土与13座国家公园，并拥有550英里大西洋海岸；哈萨克阿拉木图于2025年前9个月吸引250万名访客，且2026年将新增每周8班航班。
Planning a vacation is hard less because options are scarce than because they are abundant: decision paralysis is cited as the top reason (first of eight), with information overload second. Add limited time off, the tension between discovery and rest, and economic uncertainty, and every choice feels high-stakes. This 10th annual travel guide targets 2026 with 25 destinations, leaning into value over overtouristed, overpriced hotspots; many places still offer high-end hotels for under $500 a night.
The list is built over a full year by tracking news from hundreds of sources, cross-checking with trusted travel experts worldwide, and sending reporters into emerging trend zones. It also turns planning into a data problem: pick a departure city to see month-by-month hotel and flight cost estimates. The engine draws on about 2.5 billion Kayak data points; to compile monthly pricing for Bloomberg’s 2026 top destinations, Kayak considered 90 million flight data points and 2.5 billion hotel data points. Prices are expected to shift as routes and airports change, and AI Mode is positioned to surface the cheapest travel days and best booking windows.
Destination write-ups translate momentum into measurable signals: Barreal, Argentina sits 140 miles north of Mendoza, with a renovated lodge offering 10 rooms plus two villas and nearby “land sailing” speeds up to 75 mph; Sardinia pairs increased nonstop access (Delta from New York in May) with an upcoming 83-room Mandarin Oriental; Gabon ties a $30 million conservation pledge to protecting ~30% of its landmass and 13 national parks along a 550-mile Atlantic coast; Almaty logged a record 2.5 million visitors in the first nine months of 2025 and is slated to add eight weekly flights in 2026.
