The list of 25 global destinations -- which include locations such as Procida, Italy, and Caprivi Strip, Namibia -- are split into five categories: Culture, Sustainability, Nature, Adventure and Family.

"Things we highlight include new trails, new experiences," Stone said.

"With this time off from travel, people are going to be making much more conscientious choices about where they're going," Stone said. "And so we wanted to meet that with specific ideas about what is a unique, revealing and a safe destination for the year ahead."
