The ranking highlights countries poised to capture significant traveler interest and reflects shifting global tourism trends.
TTW compiles its list by analyzing reader engagement, editorial research, key destination performance metrics, and international safety benchmarks, including the Global Peace Index (GPI). The selection underscores evolving traveler priorities, where experience, safety, and authenticity are now paramount.
The platform highlighted Tunisia’s unique appeal, citing its exceptional historical heritage, renowned Roman ruins, rich Mediterranean culture, and distinctive desert landscapes as key assets driving the nation’s ongoing tourism recovery.
Within the Middle East and Africa region, Tunisia is noted alongside other advancing destinations, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Mauritius, and Tanzania.
Regarding safety—a factored criterion—Tunisia currently holds 81st place globally and ranks as the 6th most peaceful Arab country on the GPI.
Globally, Japan leads the TTW ranking for 2026, followed by Canada, Ireland, Mexico, and the United Kingdom completing the top five. The top ten is rounded out by France, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and Egypt—the latter standing as the sole Arab nation in the highest tier.
