If you take National Geographic's advice, you'll be seal-watching in Quebec, hiking in Hungary or braving the world's tallest bridge in Guizhou, China. The trave l publisher has just released its Best Trips list, highlighting 25 destinations it recommends for "transformative travels" in 2020. "Best Trips is our annual list of where to go, what to know and how to see the world in the year ahead," says George Stone, executive editor of travel at National Geographic. "To build the list we worked with National Geographic editors around the world as well as photographers, writers, explorers and, of course, passionate travelers to report on the essential sites to see and places to be in 2020." Elsewhere, the National Geographic list highlights the lesser-visited regions of Tohoku in Japan and Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, home to lots of pristine snow and not very many people.
