Video found on YouTube
Lonely Planet, a top travel publisher, just released a video on their YouTube Channel about the top destination of 2017. Before watching the video I expected the number one spot to be a city or country that I hadn't heard of or something far off the radar. I figured it was some new hotspot celebrities were starting to visit that was increasing in popularity. Once the clip started I was surprised to discover the best country to visit this upcoming year is Canada. Being the second largest country in the world, Canada has many great qualities that keep it ranked in the number one slot. In 2017, the country is celebrating its 150th birthday. In celebration, all national parks are going to be free for visitors during the year. There are close to 50 national parks in Canada according to Parks Canada. Some locations you may be interested in looking into are:
Aulavik National Park of Canada
Cape Breton Highlands National Park of Canada
Riding Mountain National Park of Canada
Sable Island National Park Reserve of Canada
Canda is also known for great seafood, particularly shellfish, that you can enjoy at reasonable prices. With so many cities to explore in Canada such as Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, and Ottawa you will always have a reason to visit and plan a trip. Traveled to Canada before?
