The best place to be in the world is a personal opinion. I can’t force someone to like being in a snowy climate and someone can't force me to like being at the beach. It all depends on what you like. Some people's perfect vacation spot is at a beach, in a hot climate while not having to worry about plans for the upcoming day. Others enjoy a colder climate with much to do in the day to come, such as touring ancient buildings or going to a museum. That being said, there are places that are more popular than the rest. Some of the most popular travel destinations of 2024 are Yamaguchi (Japan), Maui (Hawaii), Geneva (Switzerland), Bannau Brycheiniog (Wales), and Hurghada (Egypt). But what makes these places so special that makes people want to visit them so much?
