New countries due for an Amazing visit
theschnauzers:
The problem with Laos may be that it's hard to get in and out, or more accurately, it's time consuming.
It might be interesting to see what the Race might do in the mid-summer with the Arctic Ocean ice cap now completely melting during the summer. I think it be an interesting think to show; TAR hasn't done something like that since the sugar cane biofuel task in Brazil back during TAR 8(?)

It is true that there is so many European countries that I are still waiting for a visit (most notably Belgium and Denmark). Bosnia is definitely a safe country, I visited in Mostar and that town was so full of tourists, too many tourists for that little town! I also hope visits to Cyprus, Bulgaria, Latvia, Malta, Slovenia and Slovakia. Luxury tasks in Monaco? :tup:
Israel is very a possible country to visit. They probably will avoid Jerusalem even thought it is as safe as the other cities in Israel. I'm also waiting for Jordan and Petra (Queen Rania greets the teams :flirt: ). Laos is hard country to visit because of the logistics just like you said. Otherwise it would be nice add. Indonesia is definitely coming up in next seasons. Armenia, Azerbaijan & Georgia?
Caribbean and South Pacific islands nations, please!
In Africa there is still couple safe countries that haven't been visited: Togo, Benin, Kenya (They have only changed planes there!), Cape Verde, Mali, Malawi, Gabon, Cameroon. I think they will avoid Angola because the land mines are still big problem there. And there is a big problem with Libya: they don't allow American tv crews enter the country and sometimes also American citizens are not allowed to enter the country.

Those are good points about Libya. Kenya is a more logical choice, and it surprising it hasn't been featured to date. Israel is incredibly safe by and large, but as long as it has a Department of State travel warning hanging over its head, I don't see it happening.

As for Israel and Jordan, I did not include any countries with Dept of State travel warnings. I didn't feel those could fall realistically in the "likely" category.

I don't think Jordan has a U.S. State Department travel warning currently. Would love to see the racers at Petra in HD (and 3D).
Israel, the West Bank and Gaza do have warnings, but I would take the race to Jerusalem...

Maldives, definitely.
