津巴布韦
“With Mugabe going and a wave of optimism, lodges are opening up again and a new crop of guides are returning,” says Christopher Wilmot-Sitwell. “Zimbabwe has always had spectacular landscape and amazing game viewing, now its people want to show it off again and they deserve the world’s support.”
“随着穆加贝(Mugabe)的下台以及一股乐观情绪的兴起，不少度假屋重新开始营业，新一批旅行向导也回到了这里。”斯托弗•维尔默特-西特韦尔(Christopher Wilmot-Sitwell)表示。“津巴布韦一直有着壮丽的自然风景和令人惊叹的野生动物观赏资源，现在这里的人民想要再次展示这些瑰宝，他们应当得到全世界的支持。”

As well as becoming more attractive to visitors, increased stability has encouraged greater inward investment from tourism businesses based elsewhere in southern Africa. New openings in 2018 include Verney’s Camp in Hwange national park (from owners who run camps in Botswana) as well as three new camps from South Africa-based Great Plains Conservation.
除了对游客的吸引力上升以外，日益稳定的局势也促进了南部非洲其他地区的旅游企业加大对津巴布韦的投资。将于2018年开始营业的包括万基(Hwange)国家公园境内的Verney’s Camp（其所有者也在博茨瓦纳境内经营野营地）以及属于总部位于南非的 Great Plains Conservation公司所属的三个新野营地。

“即便你不是铁杆背包客，也能尽情感受高加索地区的美。”Steppes的贾斯汀•沃特瑞说，“白天徒步行走在白雪皑皑的山峰之间，间或停下来享受奢华的野餐，或者探访酒庄、古老的村落以及教堂。”

加拿大
While adventurous, off-the-beaten track regions tend to create the most excitement, one of the key trends of recent years has been the retreat to “safe haven” destinations. Canada is a good example, helped in 2017 by events surrounding the 150th anniversary of its independence.
虽然冒险的、人迹罕至的地区容易给人带来强烈刺激，近年来的一大趋势却是回归那些“避风港”式的旅行目的地。加拿大就是一个很好的例子，2017年围绕独立150周年纪念日举行的活动推动了其旅游业增长。
