Have you ever wondered where it is best to hold a top-notch incentive event on each month of the year? Well, now you need wonder no longer, as research by MoneyTransfers.com has revealed the top locations for each month based on weather, hours of sunshine, cost, and season data. In this Blog (credit of C&IT) we look into the top destinations throughout the year.
January: Bangkok
Bangkok stands out among most cities with its abundant sunshine, boasting an average of 272.5 hours. The temperatures average a pleasant 26.5°C, making it ideal for exploring the city on foot without suffering too much from the notorious humidity. Additionally, the daily expenses for accommodation and food are considerably cheaper compared to other cities.
February: Mexico City
While Mexico experiences relatively cooler temperatures in February, averaging 22.9°C, there is still ample sunshine during this time of year. It serves as a delightful escape from Europe’s harsh winter, and being the low season, visitors can enjoy quieter attractions and easy access to bucket list activities throughout the country.
March: Cape Town
March offers mild temperatures in Cape Town as South Africa’s summer months come to a close. It is a great time for exploration, as the city experiences fewer tourists, manageable temperatures, and an average daily cost per person of just $80 (around £63).
April: Tokyo
April is a splendid month to visit Japan, as it falls within the enchanting Sakura (cherry blossom) season. Although the average daily cost remains relatively high, savvy travelers can balance it by choosing foodie spots wisely. With cooler weather and only a few rainy days, it’s a delightful time to explore the bustling metropolis of Tokyo.
May: New York
New York offers 256.6 hours of sunlight in May, allowing visitors to enjoy leisurely strolls through Central Park and discover famous filming locations from beloved movies and TV shows. On rainy days, the city’s abundance of large stores and boutique outlets provide perfect destinations for a shopping spree. Iconic attractions like the Rockefeller Centre offer stunning views of the city’s skyline at sunset.
June: Copenhagen
Copenhagen’s summers contrast starkly with its harsh winters. With an average of 260 hours of sunshine and temperatures ranging from 11°C to 19°C, June provides an ideal climate for enjoying the city’s man-made beaches, scenic canals, and the Tivoli Gardens, all without the peak season’s hustle and bustle. Despite sounding cool, the low season allows delegates to relish these attractions comfortably.
July: Medellin
July marks the low season in Medellin, likely due to the higher number of rainy days. However, the city still enjoys temperatures reaching up to 27.6°C, and the warm tropical rain feels pleasant compared to the heavy downpours experienced in the UK. With an incredibly low average daily cost of $56 (around £44) per person, visitors can indulge in local delicacies without worrying about breaking the bank.
August: Rio de Janeiro
While many destinations shine in August, none can compare to the stunning beaches of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro’s most famous beach, Copacabana, offers a beautiful backdrop with Sugarloaf Mountain. Although it may not be summer in Rio de Janeiro, temperatures reaching up to 25.6°C are still perfect for outdoor activities and sunbathing.
September: Paris
September brings cooler temperatures to Paris, making it an excellent time to visit. Sightseeing becomes more enjoyable without the scorching summer heat, although the days still remain reasonably warm. Although daily costs remain high on average, it is the low season in Paris, which means planners may find deals on accommodation and flights.
October: Barcelona
In October, Barcelona allows for leisurely strolls through the markets of Las Ramblas and the enjoyment of al fresco tapas and sangria. While it remains warm, the low season ensures that popular tourist spots like Camp Nou, Park Guell, and the Sagrada Familia are less crowded.
November: Sydney
November welcomes delegates to Sydney, Australia’s most popular city, with temperatures ranging from 16.3°C to 23.8°C, reminiscent of summer in many countries. Despite offering an average of 241.8 hours of sunshine, Sydney remains in its low season, resulting in lower prices, minimal crowds, and no queues for attractions.
December: Dubai
While most countries brace for winter, Dubai continues to bask in the sun. Although Dubai remains expensive year-round, its ever-changing landscape of hotels, attractions, and cultural experiences never fails to impress. The cooler temperatures in December make it an optimal time to visit, as the summer months can be unbearably hot.
