CN Traveler took the top 30 countries listed in the “attractiveness” section of the World Economic Forum’s Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report and polled their editors for their personal picks to come up with a final list.

In it’s report, CN Traveler wrote: “Tucked between Italy and Austria, with a chunk of the Alps and an opening onto the Mediterranean, Slovenia seemingly has a little bit of everything. The Julian Alps are striking from all angles, but they become especially impressive when serving as backdrop to the emerald-green waters of Lake Bled. And then there are the forests, which cover half the country’s surface.”

The complete list of “The 40 Most Beautiful Countries in the World” includes Costa Rica, Iceland, New Zealand, Austria, Dominican Republic, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Mauritius, Spain, Mexico, Australia, Greece, Kenya, Namibia, Finland, Chile, Thailand, Philippines, Croatia, Portugal, Cyprus, Venezuela, Botswana, Montenegro, Oman, Nepal, Brazil, Seychelles, Slovenia, Peru, Sri Lanka, Japan, The United States of America, Italy, Turkey, South Africa, India, Morocco, and Colombia.
