"For travelers looking for inspiration for their 2014 travel planning, TripAdvisor travelers have helped us put a spotlight on some amazing destinations that caught the eye of travelers this past year," said TripAdvisor’s Chief Marketing Officer Barbara Messing.

Coming in at number 10 is Fortaleza, Brazil, the fifth spot belongs to Cusco, Peru and the top honor goes to Havana, Cuba. "Despite restrictions on visiting Cuba for Americans, there are now some limited opportunities to visit, such as through educational tours and family visits, that have not previously existed for decades," Messing explained. "As many global travelers are well aware and as reflected in the feedback from millions of TripAdvisor travelers, Havana is an outstanding destination with growing appeal."
Lists for Asia, Europe, South America, South Pacific, and the U.S. were also announced.
