A traveler’s holiday gift guide: destination games perfect for go-go-goers

The holiday season is in full swing yet again — so bring on the online shopping, bargain hunting, list-making, and of course, gift-giving. 

While it is the season to be generous, some of our loved ones just don’t make it easy on us when it comes to finding the perfect gift. Don’t be afraid to admit it — we all have that one person (or parent) that comes to mind. 

If you have an avid traveler in your life whose annual wish list has plane tickets, Airbnb gift cards, and all-inclusive resort stays — we have a more doable alternative. 

Destinations across the globe offer the perfect gift to bring all of the holly and jolly holiday cheer from their city right under your tree.

Not to monopolize your shopping list (pun intended) … but we suggest you check out these games — hand-picked by some of our staff.
