Frommer's travel guides and
Frommers.com
have announced their choices for the top travel destinations for 2007.
"This year, the editors scoured the globe and polled our stable of authors and
experts to identify 12 surprising, thriving, or emerging travel destinations,"
said Kelly Regan, editorial director of Frommer's, in a press release. The top
destinations are:
PANAMA
Panama has much of the same appeal as a destination like Costa
Rica--rainforests, volcanoes, and snorkeling. Panama City is the only metropolis
that has a rainforest within the city limits, and on a clear day, hikers at the
summit of Volcan Baru can often see both oceans at the same time. Isla Coiba,
once home to a penal colony, is now part of a national park and UNESCO World
Heritage Site that has the second-largest coral reef in the eastern Pacific. For
a tropical beach experience, go to one (or several) of the 1500 islands off the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
