Curated by an international network of journalists, photographers, and travel experts, the selection highlights locations ranging from iconic landmarks to off-the-beaten-path discoveries, focusing on cultural anniversaries, new accessibility, and revitalization projects.

Notable inclusions include the reopening of the Big Sur section of California’s Pacific Coast Highway, the inauguration of Cabo Froward National Park in Chile, and a Beethoven festival in Leipzig, Germany. Leipzig is also noted for celebrating its 800-year musical tradition with festivals dedicated to Bach and Mendelssohn. Luxor, Egypt, has been highlighted due to a total solar eclipse expected on August 2, 2027.

European destinations featured in the list include Vestland, Norway, for its fjords and coastal villages, and Normandy, France, which will commemorate the millennium of William the Conqueror’s birth through historical reenactments.

In Mexico, Maya Ka’an in Quintana Roo has been named a top global destination. This region is recognized for its focus on environmental conservation and community-based tourism, featuring 78 Mayan communities offering experiences such as jungle exploration and traditional embroidery workshops in X-Pichil. Improved accessibility is expected via new rail connections.

Other featured locations include Puerto Rico, noted for its community-driven traditions, and Salvador, Brazil, recognized for its Afro-Brazilian culture and its upcoming 2027 Women’s World Cup hosting duties.
