This idea came from the Carte Blanche novel.
That's called Skyfall.
Moved to Bond Movies</b>
Or the Falkland Islands in the dead of winter
Trinidad during a killer hurricane...
I've always said that Niagara Falls and the immediate surrounding areas would be an interesting location for Bond to visit... They have a boat tour, which takes you close to the base of the falls - and i could picture a meeting between contacts on the boat... or possibly, like in this shot - up towards the top, using the falls as an impressive backdrop of rushing water..

the next image, is renovation plans for the Peace Bridge, between the United States and Canada - which is not too far from the falls - and I could picture an action sequence taking place on the bridge too, as it spans a pretty good distance across the river...

adjacent to the falls, is also The Fallsview Casino - and much like it's name, there is a veranda, with another breathtaking view of the falls (could be used as another backdrop for a conversation scene)... here are some shots of the casino (inside and out)

...oh and the best city in the world: Budapest.
Funny so many are saying locations in the USA - surely that's one of the countries Bond's visited the most, isn't it...? :-?
But seriously,
Russia - SKorea/NKorea - Australia - Middle-of-Nowhere-Mid-USA (like Kentucky, Idaho, Utah ((Dr. Who did it))) - Portugal (why? why not) - Canada.
You two will have to scratch Kentucky from the list because parts of Goldfinger was filmed outside of Fort Knox.
Concur with those that mentioned Australia, Canada and Niagara Falls.
DOH! Fixed:
But Bond in hundreds of miles of open plains and rolling hills would be interesting. Not your usual Bond setting.
We also have out brand new Convention Centre (Top), Airport (Middle) and War Museum (Bottom), both are Architecturally astounding.
(Sorry if this is a huge photo)
The Opera House in Sydney is probably a cliche at this point, but Bond hasn't been there yet!!!! I'd say send Bond there next :D
not even the Canadian side of Niagara Falls..... i really don't want Bond back in the states for a while either - but Niagara Falls would be a beautiful locale to use.
He's only been in the states a handful of times. And I'd have him avoid the cliched big cities like NY, Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Send him to the middle of nowhere. I think IRL he'd visit his cousins more often than he does.
EDIT: But Korea is a big one for me. Have a big plot based around SKorea/NKorea, and maybe get some South Korean director to film (many are VERY good).

Bond 24:
America
Germany (Cameo)
England
A scene i like to see is a litle boat chase between the ''villian''and Police in front of the back of the statue of Liberty. (The conclusion of a earlier scene in the movie i like to see who be reference to The Spy Who Loved me.) A helicopter should make it possible to fade out the shot before back to the final location of the movie. It be a litle reference to the end of Dr No also.
To see a simalar Skyfall as in CR (Madagascar) and QOS (Boat chase).
Bond 25:
England
Egypt
Swtizerland
Belgium
Part of the new Mission Impossible 4 film was filmed in the Middle East, Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Somewhere like that would be cool to see in a Bond film. But it would have to be a safe middle east country to film in, one with a stable government! There's been a lot of turmoil in that region in recent months.
