Then you can use ZigZag On earth 10 steps to choose your next destination!

VISUAL – TRIPORATI

The offer:  discover your dream destination

The method: A series of choice between 2 visuals, and if you like both you can say both.. yeah!

The result: recommendations were OK but not that spot on. However I saw that you can create a profile with your interests to get better results.

CLASSIC – TRIPZARD

The offer:  to discover a new destination based on my travel preferences

The method: Classic questions about your priorities e.g. safety, cost, weather, food…

The result: it displayed 30 destination recommendations which left me perplex. It suggested many cities when I like outdoor and nature…

SCIENTIFIC – BEST TRIP CHOICE

The offer: your Travel Personality Type and some travel recommendations

The method: 15 questions

The result: my travel personality type was Centric Venturers, aka Voyagers. The problem is that you have to sign in to get the result. The description was fun to read but the 15 travel recommendations were not so good and missing some absolute favorite type of countries…

    I know another travel destination search website: travelmyne.com
    You can search for travel destinations across the globe or for specific regions within a world region or country. Simply type in your preferences regarding nature, culture, activities etc. and the search engine shows you which travel destinations are best for you. It’s great!

    If you are from Europe then you MUST visit jetLookup com, I found it very useful.
    You can simply put your city and see all possible trips like London->Warsaw->Barcelona->Paris->London and then simply book them.
    The coolest thing is that they search all best deals for multi-destination flights and I found 5 flights for 50 pounds!!!

    For me, the best website with some sort of searching tool is yourtopdestination.com, which recommends cities according to the criteria and filters I selected. I think it has ca. 20 filters so I can always choose the right destination for my travel preferences.
