Search a Multi-Stop Route

The second round of games in the Indie Travel Takedown is over and we’re on to the Sweet 16. Things largely got back to normal in the second round, though a few upsets did happen, sending a few underdog, Cinderella stories to the next round.

#12 seed Mexico continues to impress as it upsets #4 seed Colombia in the Americas region while trying to prove to the world that it is a great (and safe) indie travel destination despite the negative press surrounding it. Portugal moves past #16 seed Cyprus in Europe to end their run after upsetting #1 seed Italy. #10 seed Indonesia scores a massive upset over #2 seed Thailand in the Asia/Oceania region, while #7 seed Egypt moves to the round of 16 after dispatching #2 seed Tanzania in the Africa/Middle East region.
