Canada continues to stand tall as a global travel destination, earning recognition in Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards.
Based on the votes of hundreds of thousands of travellers worldwide, Canada ranked 14th in the list of the best countries to visit, surpassing destinations like France and securing its spot as the only North American country on the list.
The ranking is part of Condé Nast’s recently published 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards, which gathered opinions from travellers on various travel topics, including the top countries to visit. Candidates were evaluated on a five-point scale that took into account factors like culture, attractions, food, and overall experience. The final score was determined by the average of these ratings.
While Japan topped the list with a score of 94.79, followed by Portugal (92.69) and Turkey (92.4), Canada’s 14th-place finish with a score of 90.85 is a testament to the country’s lasting appeal. It edged out France (90.58), which came in 15th.
But that’s not all—Canadian cities and resorts also made a mark in other categories of the awards. Victoria, B.C., was named the best small city in the world for the second consecutive year, highlighting its charm and unique coastal appeal. Meanwhile, the luxurious Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino took the top spot as the best resort in the U.S. and Canada, solidifying the Canadian West Coast as a must-visit destination for travellers seeking natural beauty and world-class accommodations.
