The Best Places to Travel in 2024

This year more than 10 million Americans will get their travel advice from Travel Lemming. We’ve earned their trust with our honest style of informative guides, written by our team of more than 3 dozen locals & experts around the world.

And now it’s time to tell them where to go next year …

On November 7th, we’ll reveal our most anticipated piece of content: our annual list of the best emerging places to travel around the world. In past years, our list has been covered in press on six continents, including the likes of Lonely Planet, Forbes Africa, and EuroNews. Last year’s article even ranked on the front page of Google for searches like “places to travel” and “where to travel.” It is, we think, the best and most innovative annual list of places to travel on the Internet.

Travel Lemming is a popular online travel guide written by our team of local & expert travelers. We are one of the largest travel guides on the planet according to independent rankings like Detailed.com. This year millions of readers, mostly in the US and Canada, will use Travel Lemming’s guides to help plan their trips. They trust us to help them pick where to go, stay, eat, drink & play. It’s a fun job, but somebody’s got to do it 🙂

Like other prominent travel publications, Travel Lemming invests resources in flagship pieces of content meant to showcase our absolute best recommendations. If you’ve ever read the popular “52 Places to Travel” list by The New York Times, you already have a good idea of what we’re talking about.

We have been publishing our own annual list of places to travel (we prefer to call them “emerging destinations”) since 2017.

You can see last year’s list here.

Each year, this list is our most popular article. Past versions have helped thousands upon thousands of travelers decide where to travel. It gets covered in media around the world, is shared widely on social media, and even appears on the front page of Google when people search for “places to travel” or similar terms (really, give it a try!). It’s so popular that, depending on Google’s mood on a given day, sometimes it even puts our list in front of the one from The New York Times!

Each year we try to iterate and improve our list from the year before. And this year we have some pretty epic surprises in the works for our audience! We can’t wait to share the list with you 🙂

Candidate destinations are first nominated by one of our writers. Then our editorial board reviews the submissions, solicits additional information from the nominees’ tourist boards as needed, and ultimately collaborates with our team to compile the best list of recommendations we can. The article goes through multiple layers of fact-checking and editorial review before publication. Learn more about our editorial guidelines here.

Sorry, you can’t. Nominations can only be made by Travel Lemming writers and editors.

For press inquiries, a media kit, and brand assets, email taylor@travellemming.com. We are also happy to provide quotes from our team and/or from the winning tourism boards (that is, if we have a contact at the winner).

Tuesday, November 7th.

No! We neither solicit nor accept payment. Please don’t even ask. You’ll just make us sad.

Travel Lemming generates revenue the same way as your local newspaper or other online publications – primarily by running ads.
