Intrepid Travel has released its annual Not Hot List, spotlighting ten lesser-known destinations that are ready to welcome more visitors in 2027. Developed using insights from Intrepid’s extensive global network of local leaders and destination experts, the list shines a light on under-the-radar alternatives and less-visited regions where travellers’ presence can have an outsized positive impact.<\/p>\n

To further promote visitation and destination development, Intrepid has also launched five new trips to several of the featured regions. These include the new 10-day Kenya Safari Adventure<\/a>, the 16-day Wild Canada & Alaska<\/a>, the 10-day Hike Sri Lanka’s Pekoe Trail<\/a>, the 12-day Jordan Uncovered and the new 9-day Trek the Trans-Caucasian Trail<\/a> in Georgia.<\/p>\n

The 10 destinations on the Not Hot List are selected based on three key criteria: (1) being less visited, with fewer visitors than comparable places; (2) demonstrating tourism readiness, with infrastructure and capacity to support more tourists; and (3) new initiatives, improved connectivity, major events, launches or infrastructure developments that give travelers a compelling reason to visit in 2027.<\/p>\n

The 2027 Not Hot List includes:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya<\/li>\n
  2. Mestia, Georgia<\/li>\n
  3. Northern Highlands, Jordan <\/li>\n
  4. Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada<\/li>\n
  5. Alonnisos, Greece<\/li>\n
  6. Dili, Timor-Leste<\/li>\n
  7. Pekoe Trail, Sri Lanka<\/li>\n
  8. Liep\u0101ja, Latvia <\/li>\n
  9. Carretera Austral, Chile<\/li>\n
  10. Dalsland, Sweden<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This year\u2019s list showcases destinations that offer compelling alternatives to some of travel’s most popular experiences. Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve, for example, represents a nationwide effort to combat overtourism in some of East Africa\u2019s busiest national parks. While Chile’s Carretera Austral provides an alternative to some of the well-trodden routes of Patagonia.<\/p>\n

    The 2027 Not Hot List also highlights countries like Timor-Leste, Latvia and Georgia, which receive fewer international visitors than their regional counterparts, as well as lesser-known regions of Jordan and Sri Lanka. Erica Kritikides, General Manager Experiences at Intrepid Travel commented:<\/p>\n

    “If we want tourism to continue to be a force for good, we need to constantly rethink how and where we travel. The Not Hot List isn\u2019t just about surfacing lesser-known places, it aims to shift the conversation and help travellers to discover new destinations where their visit can make a meaningful contribution to local communities and economies.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Since the Not Hot List was first introduced in 2018, it has become a strong indicator of up-and-coming destinations. Pakistan\u2019s Gilgit-Baltistan<\/a> and Kyrgyzstan\u2019s Tien Shen Mountain Range<\/a>, which both featured on previous lists, were later recognized in The New York Times \u201952 Places to Go\u2019 list for 2025 and 2026 respectively. Intrepid also saw strong booking growth following the destinations\u2019 inclusion, with travel to Pakistan increasing 67% year-on-year, while bookings for Kyrgyzstan grew by 62%.<\/p>\n

    Other featured destinations, including Sainshand in Mongolia<\/a> from the 2025 list, have also experienced encouraging growth. Bookings for the Trans-Mongolian Railway Adventure<\/a>, which includes two days in Sainshand, increased by 298% year-on-year from 2024 to 2025. This reflected broader tourism growth, with international arrivals to Mongolia increasing by 16% from January to September 2025, double the average growth rate across the Asia-Pacific region. This increased demand has helped create local employment opportunities, strengthen supplier partnerships and support continued investment in local operations.<\/p>\n

    The 2027 Not Hot List was informed by expert local insights from Intrepid\u2019s destination and operations experts across 35 countries, as well as input from tourism boards, local guides and travel trend agency Globetrender<\/a>.<\/p>\n
