There are many areas where you can have a tropical vacation. Some in the same continent, while others a thousand miles away and only accessible through air. Although it would be a wonderful adventure to hop onto a plane and go just about anywhere you feel like; there are several destinations that would make for a magnificent experience.

The South Pacific is a tropical region. These small countries have sprawling white beaches and friendly locals. Don’t be put off by the imminent sign of war or revolution that you hear on the news, but you should be aware of the country’s state before you book your flight. Northern Marianas, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand are the tourist hotspots; as they experience tropical climate all year round. These countries are not as primitive as you might think; the cities are teeming with new technology and innovations. If you go into the outskirts, you will feel as though transported in a different time and place; as you see majestic mountains with lush greeneries and rambling colonial houses that were built a century ago. The lure of the South Pacific is the smiling friendly locals, who hospitable to the point of obscenity.

The Caribbean is the most popular destination for Americans, not only because it is closer to their home; but because it is more affordable. Scattered across this amazing region are small islands, each with its own charm to bait in unlikely tourists. Most of the visitors of the Caribbean opt for a cruise, instead of just staying in a hotel. It is more practical, some say, to go island hopping in a floating hotel; than it is to remain on one part of the region basking in the sun.

Mexico is yet another well known tropical vacation hotspot due to its close proximity to the US. Although there are not a lot of beaches around, Mexico has something for everyone. There is an abundance of activities that you can do with the whole family, historical sites that you can visit as well as festivals and parades to watch.

Puerto Rico is much like Mexico, not only because of the language, but also because the towns seem untouched by technology. The coastline of these two South American countries have exotic beaches with turquoise water lapping on the seashore. The top tropical destinations are enchanting places to visit. Armed with enough knowledge and a huge bottle of sunscreen, you will be able to fully enjoy these tropical getaways.
