Fodor’s go list 2023: These places you should visit

Planning a vacation in 2023? Fodor's, the travel guide site, offers its expertise each holiday season with a list of top destinations, the GO List, for the coming year. The pandemic caused a bit of a pause, but this year's GO List includes a global array of 40 jaw-dropping locations, from Chile's Torres del Paine to India's tiger state Madhya Pradesh.

“Well,” say Fodor's editors in their introduction to the first GO List since 2019, “it seems the pandemic is (maybe, possibly) over, or, at least, we've incorporated its continuance into our day-to-day lives. There is a collective feeling of lost time and an urgency to make plans.

The large list is divided into seven regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico and Central America. And it's accompanied by a separate "NO List" of destinations, not so much as places to avoid, but as places where we need to be mindful of the impact of tourist crowds on the environment and culture. Think Venice and the overcrowded Amalfi Coast, the clarity of Lake Tahoe and the depths of the drought-stricken Rhine and Danube rivers.
