The list is compiled by the National Geographic Traveller (UK) in collaboration, with its 16 local language counterparts of National Geographic Traveller, and highlights destinations for future travel in five categories – Sustainability, Nature & Wildlife, Adventure, Culture and History, and Family Travel.

The list will be published in the Jan/Feb 2021 edition of National Geographic Traveller (UK) and will be available on newsstands in the UK on December 3, 2020.

Dominica’s lush rainforest and Boiling Lake were highlighted in the article as must-do activities on the adventure seekers list for 2021.

According to National Geographic Traveller UK, the list includes destinations that demonstrate “resilient communities, innovative conservation efforts, and thrilling opportunities for future explorations.”
