THEL New York Times publishes the usual list of «52 places list 2022», I 52 places on the planet to visit in 2022 according to the prestigious newspaper. But the world has changed with the pandemic, as those who made the choices well know the list must also adapt.
And, therefore, like last year, the “places” instead of “to visit” had become “to love”, this year they have become places where «tourists can be part of the solution»To problems such as over-tourism and climate change.
Places to see in 2022? Naples, Chioggia and Courmayeur
In short, the key to the choices this time is sustainable tourism and so the list became “52 places for a changed world”. List in which Italy with three cities has been inserted: Chioggia, Courmayeur and Naples.
Much older than the Serenissima, Chioggia was chosen for those travelers who love the beauty of places and the typicality of food, but away from the madding crowd, like the one that has returned to fill Venice after the acute phase of the pandemic.
There mountain town of Courmayeurinstead, she was elected for the efforts made by local administrators for the preservation of the fragile ecosystem of glaciers and for the ability to create a balance between tourism and the environment.
Naples, the city that everyone must see “before they die”
As for Naples, perhaps the choice may seem obvious, given that the Campania capital is very often on the lists of places to see, but as is known, the Campania capital is the city that everyone must see “before they die” and therefore, it is difficult not to include it.
Of course, the newspaper does not fail to point out that its future, however, is “precarious” without special interventions. But the good news is “that some Neapolitans are rolling up their sleeves”.
The other destinations for dreaming
As for the destinations abroad we find the Lucayan archipelago with his shark sanctuary in the Caribbean Sea And L’Uttarakhand, in India, where a community of women has revived small villages.
With the pandemic still underway, the NYT knows that it is not possible to leave as easily as before and that some places are still closed, but the list (business suit), as he points out, is to be kept there, near the bedside table, and use it as inspiration for the next, hopefully very soon, conscious journey.
