Fodor's Travel Unveils 2027 Go List and No List, With Sedona Among 8 Destinations Facing Tourism Challenges

Widely anticipated annual lists celebrate 27 emerging destinations around the world and examine the effects of overtourism, including the growing short-term rental crisis in Sedona, Arizona

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11, 2026 — Fodor's Travel today released its 2027 Go List, naming 27 destinations worth discovering, and No List, flagging eight destinations where tourism is straining infrastructure, threatening natural resources, disrupting residential communities, and raising questions about who benefits from tourism.

"Travel can be one of the most rewarding ways to experience the world, but the places we visit aren't just backdrops for our vacations. They're home to people, cultures, and ecosystems that deserve consideration," said Jeremy Tarr, Editorial Director at Fodors.com. "The Go List celebrates destinations that offer something special, while the No List looks at places where the pressures of tourism have become difficult to ignore. We encourage travelers to keep exploring, but to be thoughtful about where they go and the choices they make along the way."

The 2027 Go List: Places to Put on Your Radar

This year's 27 selections span the globe, spotlighting destinations with distinctive character, rich cultural traditions, and remarkable natural landscapes. Visitors can explore the ancient forests and Haida heritage of Canada's Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, discover the temples and culinary traditions of Japan's Shikoku island, or unwind amid the beaches and rainforests of Grenada.

The U.S. selections offer plenty of reasons to venture beyond the country's best-known tourist hubs. They include Bardstown, Kentucky, the unofficial capital of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail; Burlington, Vermont, with its lakeside setting and lively food and arts scene; Chicago's South Side, where the opening of the Obama Presidential Center is bringing renewed attention to Hyde Park; and Kingston, New York, a Hudson Valley destination with a flourishing food and arts scene. Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp and Ponce, Puerto Rico, round out the domestic selections.

The 2027 No List: When Tourism Takes Too Much

The eight destinations on this year's No List face different but significant pressures from tourism. On the Albanian Riviera and Italy's Amalfi Coast, rapid development and visitor numbers are straining infrastructure and local resources. Bali continues to contend with pollution, waste, and water shortages, while Edinburgh, Scotland and Kyoto are grappling with congestion and the effects of short-term rentals on local communities.

Sedona, Arizona, is the only U.S. destination on the list. With approximately one-fifth of the city's housing stock permitted for short-term rentals, the prevalence of these properties has put additional pressure on an already constrained housing market. Compounding the problem, state law limits the city's ability to regulate short-term rentals, creating a regulatory impasse that leaves both local officials and residents with few options for addressing the issue.

"The No List isn't about writing off these destinations. They're still remarkable places with a great deal to offer travelers," Tarr said. "It's about recognizing that even places we love to visit can face challenges when tourism grows beyond what local communities and environments can comfortably support. We hope the list encourages people to look beyond a destination's appeal and consider the long-term impact of their visit."

The eight destinations on Fodor's 2027 No List are:

• Albanian Riviera
• Amalfi Coast, Italy
• Bali, Indonesia
• Corsica, France
• Edinburgh, Scotland
• Kyoto, Japan
• Ngorongoro, Tanzania
• Sedona, Arizona, United States
