National Geographic recently published a list titled “Destinations on the rise for 2021: 25 amazing places to inspire future journeys and remind us why we love to travel.”

The list National Geographic created is broken down into five categories: Adventure, Culture and History, Nature, Family, Sustainability. As the article points out, “These superlative destinations speak of resilient communities, innovative conservation efforts, and thrilling opportunities for future explorations.”
