New Delhi [India], Dec. 21 (ANI): The theater district in Seoul, a foodie hamlet within Kuala Lumpur's bustling city center and a residential artists' enclave in Minneapolis: The fast-growing neighborhoods for travel in 2017 are an eclectic mix of emerging local hotspots.

Based on the travel patterns of more than 140 million total guest arrivals at three million homes on Airbnb, this year's trending neighborhoods share a few consistent themes. Here's what travelers are looking for this year:

• Urban, but not dense: Neighborhoods that made the list this year are retreats from the usual pace of city life. In 2017, people are flocking to laid-back communities that offer urban convenience with a relaxed vibe, from the serene Milneburg district of New Orleans to Phoenix Park, a district brimming with gardens and wildlife close to Dublin, Ireland's capital.

• Glorious green spaces: Areas like Rockcliffe Smythe in Toronto, a largely residential area with large beautiful green spaces make for a relaxing visit while only being a short walk to the shops, restaurants and live music of the neighboring Junction community.

• Food options galore: A perennial draw for travelers, walkable foodie hubs were numerous on this year's list. Neighborhoods like Bangkok's Din Daeng district, renowned for its roadside markets, and Midtown Miami's epicurean delights showed that accessible local dining is a consistent draw for travelers.

In cities like Miami and Seoul, travelers to this year's trending neighborhoods can connect with Experience hosts for local access you won't find in typical tourist guides: In Miami's Midtown neighborhood, guests can experience the fun, mindful side of Miami with yoga by the beach, paddle boarding and fresh dining; near Daehangno in Seoul, visitors can book a journey through the underground food scene, getting front and center in the kitchens of some of the best restaurateurs in the country.
