So it’s the end of the world in 2012, but that’s no reason to skip your holiday!

It’s a well-known theory that the ancient Mayan civilization predicted the end of the world would take place on the 21st of December, 2012. At Hummba.com, we think this is the perfect excuse for a holiday. Many of us will not get the opportunity to take a break in 2011, but that just means we’re way ahead in our planning for next year. Let’s take a look at some of the hottest destinations for 2012...

Thousands of people are expected to flock to Cancun in Mexico, in celebration of the end of the world. However, parties are being planned in many different cities for what will undoubtedly become a global event. If it really is the end, we might as well go out with a bang, right? But 2012 will be as long a year as any, and we’ll need something to do in the months before our impending doom.

The London Olympic Games are expected to draw thousands of people to Britain in July and August. Hummba’s audio travel guides of London will be the perfect companion for anyone visiting the city during this massive sporting event.

Sao Paulo is also coming out guns blazing in 2012. The city will host the first ever Brazilian edition of the famous Lollapalooza music festival in early April. The Foo Fighters, Calvin Harris and the Arctic Monkeys are just a few of the internationally-renowned artists featured on the line up. Find out more about this vibrant city while you’re there, with the Hummba audio travel guide.

The Netherlands is expecting an influx of tourists throughout 2012, due to the phasing out of the sale of questionable substances from the country’s infamous coffee shops. The ban will only be imposed in Amsterdam from the beginning of 2013, so many people are expected to visit the city before then. Hummba.com’s audio travel guide for Amsterdam will help you discover more about this fascinating place.

Auckland will be one of the first major cities in the world to experience the predicted last day. Even before hosting the successful 2011 Rugby World Cup, New Zealand was a favourite tourist destination. The entire island nation is known for its spectacular scenery, and Hummba’s audio travel guide for Auckland will help you explore this paradise in more detail.

These are just a few of the extraordinary places you can visit next year. Hummba’s audio travel guides can be downloaded directly onto your iPhone or Android mobile phone, which means you’ll have guides to hundreds of tourist attractions right in the palm of your hand.
