These 21 Destinations Have Been Named ‘Best Of The World’ For 2017

The team at National Geographic Traveler is pretty familiar with the world. The publication is one of the most widely read travel magazines in the world, sharing authoritative information on countless adventures around the globe, so when they tell you where to go (literally, not figuratively), you listen.

They’ve just released their annual ‘Best of the World’ list, featuring 21 must-see destinations for travellers in 2017, as chosen by the magazine’s editors. George Stone, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, said that “this year’s list represents a carefully curated selection of forward-leaning places that reveal the bright future of travel.”
