Canada features in list of 23 best places to go in 2023, according to Conde Nast Traveller

Canada's British Columbia features in a list of the 23 best places to travel in the world in 2023. The list was created by travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.

The platform described the province's "pristine natural beauty," including the Rocky Mountains and the islands of Haida Gwaii, as the reasons behind its inclusion in its travel recommendation for next year.

It also cited a number of new Indigenous activities, which included watching the wildlife near the Klahoose Wilderness Resort and recommended Vancouver International Airport’s only Indigenous restaurant Salmon n’ Bannock.

According to Condé Nast Traveller, the places were picked by its editors from India, the U.K., the U.S. and Spain considering a mix of old favourites worth visiting along with new, and lesser-travelled, locations.

Among its far-flung picks was Auckland, New Zealand, which it praised for its outdoor activities, such as the Lantern Festival, which will be held in February, and Pacifika, a huge Pacific Islands festival held in March. It also noted that the city plays host to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023 in July.
