Pamukkale, Turkey Next Hot Spot in 2007 TripAdvisor™

TravelCast is a new barometer of what's hot and what's not in travel destinations. TripAdvisor engineers have developed a proprietary algorithm that looks at several criteria including changes in search activity and postings throughout the world's largest travel community, http://www.tripadvisor.com/. The TravelCast then predicts the rising stars in travel and the destinations that are losing steam. So, what are the emerging hotspots for 2007? Pamukkale, Turkey, Marrakech, Morocco and Puno, Peru top the list of rising stars. What hotspots have lost their luster? Miami, Honolulu and Acapulco, among others. The complete world and U.S. top tens are provided below.

"Nearly 4,000 travelers have spoken about their vacation plans and preferences for 2007 and perhaps the most intriguing discovery is that adventures in the great outdoors has trumped luxuriating at the spa," said Michele Perry, director of communications for TripAdvisor. "We'll closely monitor our new TravelCast algorithm for predicting the hottest travel destinations in the world and we'll offer updates on the latest travel buzz throughout the year."
