#2 Alaska, USA
The US State of Alaska figures at number #2 in the Travel Lemming Judges award for emerging destinations of the year 2019. Most US travelers will not agree with the judges’ view that Alaska is an unsung destination but I need to stress that this is what the judges have decided and put them at #2 in this list! Most US travelers I’m sure are aware that Alaska is a popular summer destination mainly famous for its wilderness, snow capped mountains and natural settings. Of particular significance is Mount Denali in Alaska, the highest point in the Northern Hemisphere where tourists flock for scenic helicopter rides for getting panoramic views from atop and heli-skiing on its steep slopes.

Savanna in the US Georgia state finds its position at #3 in the Travel Lemming Judges Awards for unsung destinations. Travel to this coastal Georgia city to experience its manicured parks, horse drawn carriages and Victorian era architecture. Head to Savannah if you like history, this coastal city has a lot to offer on Georgia’s rich history and don’t miss out on a boat ride on the Savannah River for getting scenic views surrounding the river.
#4 Grenada
This Caribbean Island nation dubbed by many as the “Spice Isle” is mainly popular for its nutmeg plantations and many native chocolate brands which use nutmeg as one of the ingredients for the manufacture of the chocolates. Time your travel to Grenada in such a way that it coincides with the 9 day Grenada Chocolate Festival that is organized by True Blue Bay Resort located in the south coast of Grenada. This festival is set to take place between May 31st to June 7th this year, head here for getting an extensive insight on Grenada’s organic chocolates made of nutmeg, cocoa and chocolate.

#5 Memphis, Tennessee
Head to Memphis in the US State of Tennessee if music interests you, Memphis boasts of being home to popular genres of music like Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Do checkout some happening bars and pubs belting out some hard to find music numbers from these genres.
Apart from music don’t miss the Memphis in May international event. Unfortunately the most coveted event Bicentennial Celebration in Memphis- Memphis in May has just ended on May 25th, annual event that commemorates the rich cultural history and heritage of Memphis.

#7 Manati, Puerto Rico

Manati is home to a natural pool beach known by the name Mar Chiquita that has crystal waters located in a serene location just 45 minutes away from San Juan.
#8 Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is an archipelago of six islands in the overseas region of France in the Caribbean and is also European Union’s largest territory in the continent of North America. The six archipelago islands of Gaudelope have not been explored much by the international tourists and this is the main reason why the Travel Lemming judges have considered this beach destination as one of the emerging destinations for the year 2019.
#9 Valladolid, Mexico
Travel to Valladolid in the neighboring Mexican nation, there are umpteen flights operating everyday from the US mainland to Valladolid in Mexico. The spot figures out #9 in the list of unsung destinations, the judges have awarded this position mainly because of the unexplored shopping markets, blissful cenotes and Mayan ruins in the city.
