Travel Lemming, an online publication with more than 10 million readers, today announced its list of the top 50 destinations in the world for 2025.
Yoho National Park was named the #4 best place to travel globally, while Salt Spring Island took the #38 slot of the top 50 destinations.
Today’s announcement is part of the publication’s annual list of 50 best places to travel, a project that highlights the world’s best destinations and hidden gems.
The article calls Yoho National Park “one of Canada’s most beautiful areas” and says that visitors should “visit Yoho in the summer to experience some of the most stunning lakes on the planet, or come for a cozy winter wonderland with fluffy snow and crackling fires.”
Ian Parker, Promotions Officer, Lake Louise Yoho Kootenay Field Unit, commented: “We are delighted to be chosen as one of the top 50 places to travel in 2025 by Travel Lemming.”
He continued, “A pristine mountain environment with 28 peaks over 3,000 meters and home to the world-famous Burgess Shale fossils make Yoho National Park a hiker’s paradise. Discover culture, history, and heritage in Yoho National Park!”
The list of destinations is a collaborative project by Travel Lemming’s team of dozens of travel writers and editors. The publication’s travel writers each nominate their favorite destinations for inclusion in the list. Then, Travel Lemming’s editorial board reviews and votes on the nominations.
The top 10 places to travel in 2025, according to Travel Lemming, are:
#1 – Lombok, Indonesia
#2 – El Calafate, Argentina
#3 – County Kerry, Ireland
#4 – Yoho National Park, Canada
#5 – Lalibela, Ethiopia

Taylor Herberger, Director of Marketing at Travel Lemming, commented: “I’ve travelled to almost every national park in the Canadian Rockies, and none has captured my heart like Yoho National Park.”
Emerald Lake in winter was drastically different than during our summer excursion, offering a landscape that was serene, quiet and peaceful.
She continued, “The park is just as stunning as more popular ones nearby, yet it has a serene quality that makes me choose it over the others. It’s a place I’ll be returning to time and time again!
