Global travel site Big 7 Travel has released the official list of the ‘Top 50 Bucket List Destinations 2019’.

Following on from sample survey results of their 1.5million social audience, they found out which destinations across the world feature most on people’s bucket lists.

Bali, Indonesia, came in at No.1, with New Orleans, USA at No.2 and Ireland’s Ring of Kerry at No.3.

Budapest, a fairytale city, is listed in the 46th place!

People were also more likely to add a destination to their list if they had seen it on social media – the study found that 33% of people research holiday destinations via their Instagram feed.

Unsurprisingly, countries with naturally beautiful scenery or world-famous landmarks came out on top. 22% of the top bucket list destinations have white sandy beaches, while 52% are an iconic city. The average number of destinations on a bucket list is 11, with people hoping to visit at least seven of those places during the lifetime.

TOP 15 BUCKET LIST DESTINATIONS 2019:

15th. Paro Valley, Bhutan

14th. Rome, Italy

13th. Edinburgh, Scotland

12th. Dubrovnik, Croatia

11th. New York, USA

5th. Sydney, Australia

4th. Marrakech, Morocco

Countries who made it into the Top 25 include Scotland and Italy, as well as Tokyo, thanks to its futuristic buildings and old-meets-new vibe. Other places in the Top 50 to add to your ‘must-visit’ include Bhutan and Jordan.

Instagram shows no sign of slowing down as a key driver in travel trends:

67% of people surveyed by Big 7 Travel said they have visited a new destination after seeing it on Instagram.

While printed guidebooks still have their uses, more and more tourists are using only Instagram for travel recommendations – 33% of people surveyed say they research their upcoming holiday destination via their Instagram feed.

With 77% of people surveyed taking 2-5 holidays a year (including weekend breaks), the most popular travel content on social media are Bucket List experiences and luxury hotels.
