When planning your next trip, you probably check the weather, the sights, and the cost… but have you ever looked at how happy the locals are? A nation's happiness rating is more than just people being happy. It's safety, social benefits, freedom, and standard of living. These are all the elements that we travelers need without even realizing it.

People are traveling like never before - and it's only going to get better from here. With no borders, full planes, and hotels filled with visitors from across the globe - from the oldest cities to hidden natural wonders - people are traveling again. From ancient cities to remote natural wonders, travelers are returning with fresh curiosity and a hunger for meaningful experiences. Whether you're drawn to vibrant cultural hubs, luxury escapes, or eco-adventures off the beaten path, this year is shaping up to be one of the most exciting times to explore the world.
