    Have a look at Iberia network: Senegal, Ecuador or Bolivia (with Iberia+LATAM). Bolivia is certainly not over run (even in Uyuni it’s not crowded). Bolivia has beautiful nature/ food/culture.

    Then you have Accra with BA from where you can visit a lot of West Africa with a tour guide (or even on your own if you are adventurous enough).

    Also look at Qatar Airways’ network too (although that’s increasingly difficult to get on Avios).

    Even from Tokyo, you are only 2-3 hours away from Okinawa/Ryukyu archipelago (using Avios on JAL). Some islands have zero foreign tourists. Ishigaki is also great for beach type place with not too many tourists.

    I also like Taiwan, especially rural and southern Taiwan (can be done with Cathay from Hong Kong or JAL from Tokyo).

    Ref Ghana, we used a 241 to Accra for a private bird watching trip with Ashanti African Tours. They also do cultural trips. Prices were reasonable, driver and bird guide were excellent and accommodation was good. Big disappointment was the Leela which we booked ourselves.
