Europe dominates the list of 20 countries that readers of travel magazine CN Traveller chose to visit this year.
But at the top of the list are Asian destinations, which attract visitors for their cultural attractions. This includes Japan, where visitors are drawn to everything from cherry blossoms to the Ghibli Park festival, and the coastal prefecture of Fukui, now easily accessible by bullet train from Tokyo. Culture also draws visitors to Vietnam, Thailand, and more.
Here are the top 20 best destinations in the world in 2024.
20.Seychelles
This dazzling archipelago of 115 islands scattered across a patch of the Indian Ocean has long been a destination for honeymooners.
19. Mexico
Security concerns cannot stop tourists from visiting this country rich in culture and history.
18.Ireland
For American visitors in particular, Ireland has always felt a bit like an old cardigan: cozy, easy-going and comfortable – a place where you can take generations of family members to trace your genealogical roots or explore centuries-old castles...
17.Malta
The world's 10th smallest country has a lot to offer. Although 'Malta' technically refers to an archipelago of three inhabited islands, Gozo, Comino and Malta, it's this archipelago that most tourists flock to for its scorching summers and mild winters.
16.Australia
Visitors will never stop loving Sydney, Melbourne and the Great Barrier Reef
15. Vietnam
Vietnam’s rustic charm has kept the destination high on travellers’ lists year after year. The country welcomed an estimated 12.6 million tourists in 2023 – a fraction of Thailand’s 28 million. However, that number is set to rise each year as visitors choose to explore the country’s secrets and experience towns and cultures that have yet to be invaded by mass tourism. Vietnam Airlines will become the first and only domestic carrier to offer direct flights to Italy when it launches three-times-weekly flights between Hanoi and Milan in July 2025, while Vietnam has already won big at the 2024 World Travel Awards, picking up awards including “Asia’s Leading Festivals and Events Destination.”
14.Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a pristine rainforest oasis nestled between the urban centers of North and South America.
13.Spain
If you've ever been in the country's countryside, especially after dark, you've probably come to know the obvious: the Spanish know how to party and they like to party in style, from the sherry and flamenco bars of Andalusia to the beach.
12.Croatia
The Balkan country is rapidly gaining popularity thanks to increased direct flights, a surge in cruise tourism and especially its popularity following Game of Thrones.
11.Greece
Greece is attracting record numbers of tourists and the crystal-clear Aegean waters are beckoning us back to some of the world's favourite islands: postcard-perfect Santorini, myth-filled Mykonos and vast Crete, with its resurgent wine scene.
10.Sri Lanka
This South Asian nation packs a teardrop-shaped island with verdant high-altitude tea plantations, national parks where sloth bears and endangered elephants roam...
9.Canada
The world's second largest country is a perfect blend of otherworldly landscapes, from icy mountains to lush forests and vibrant cities.
8.Portugal
This Iberian peninsula nation has spent the past decade transforming itself from a low-budget destination into a major contender that can compete with the likes of Spain and Italy.
7. Meaning
As Stanley Tucci's popular CNN travelogue proves, there aren't enough days in the year to explore all the delights Italy has to offer.
6. Maldives
A lot has changed in this Indian Ocean archipelago in the past 50 years. The island-dotted nation opened its doors to beach-loving tourists in the early 1970s. Since then, the resorts, most of which occupy their own islands, have consistently outdone themselves – and their neighbours – with “world-first” innovations and attention-grabbing
5.New Zealand
Since the Lord of the Rings series, visitors have viewed the island nation as a place of almost mythical beauty, from its crystalline mountain lakes and vast fjords to its misty rainforests and geothermal valleys.
4. France
All eyes are on Paris this summer as the city hosts the Summer Olympics and Paralympics. After the rebuilding of Notre Dame Cathedral and its highly publicized fight against bedbugs last year, the City of Light is seeing a new wave of visitors.
3. Thailand
Thailand's enduring appeal is largely due to the diversity of its landscape. Trains, domestic flights, boats and overnight buses mean getting from A to B is considerably easier than in neighbouring Southeast Asian countries.
2.Switzerland
Switzerland has just lost its top spot. The landlocked European nation has captured the imagination and hearts of skiers, culture vultures, foodies and, increasingly, sun worshippers who head to the lakes for a less crowded alternative to the Como coastline.
1.Japan
Tourism is booming and you'll still find great restaurants, incredibly relaxing hot springs, Shinto shrines, cherry blossoms and impeccably clean and efficient bullet trains that run along some of the most beautiful railways in the world. But there's always something new to see in this country...
