What is the best holiday destination for 2020?

Condé Nast (CN) Travellers are known for talking about places they are most excited to travel to, in this instance, they have published a list of ‘The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020’ and while, their top pick will make you feel all sorts of ways from shock and surprise to joy and excitement but most of all inspired.

Lizzie Pook and Tabitha Joyce of CN Travellers, have “rounded up the places that are coming into their own next year” they believe in compiling a list of places on the basis of their geographical diversity, eco-tourism adventure which may attract the attention of travelers all over the world which includes considering the places with the best eateries, seaside spots and beaches, affordability of the place, the art scene such as museums, et cetera.

In this latest list they have names from Japan to Croatia, Panama to Morocco, Virgin Islands to Frisian Islands in Denmark, China to Lebanon but the top vacation spot according to them is definitely a winner. Despite struggling against and controlling terrorism in the state, striving towards presenting a positive image of the state and shifting the negative attention coming from international media to even attempting to deescalating tensions in the region, Pakistan, is considered to be one of 2020’s most happening vacation destinations as per the CN Traveller’s list.

In the words of Lizzie Pook and Tabitha Joyce, Pakistan is “the adventure traveller’s must-visit” place that goes from “strength to strength”. While the long-spanning [nearly two decades] fight against terrorism has thwarted efforts for and significantly damaged Pakistan’s existing tourism industry, the ancient valleys, breathtaking mountain ranges and of course, the recently relaxed visa policies have suddenly pushed Pakistan to the top as a priority destination for adventure seekers and travelers from across the globe.

According to the founder and CEO of Wild Frontiers, the focus on security measures has greatly improved the chances for tourism in Pakistan.
