It&#8217;s a place that welcomes you in, leaves a lasting mark, and sends you home seeing the world and one another a little differently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Government of Canada tourism agency credited the high ranking to vibrant cityscapes in cities like Toronto and Montr\u00e9al, majestic landscapes in Banff and Yukon, and Indigenous-led experiences that honour the land and its stories.<\/p>\n<p>Canada followed closely behind France, which took the ninth spot with a score of 91.24. The top three places went to Japan, Greece and Portugal, respectively. Japan is in a league of its own as the only country with a score of 95.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the full ranking:<\/p>\n<p>Top Countries in the World<\/p>\n<p>Japan 95.36<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGreece 92.31<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nPortugal 92.08<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nItaly 92.02<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSpain 91.96<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nT\u00fcrkiye 91.91<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nIreland 91.59<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nCroatia 91.56<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nFrance 91.24<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nCanada 90.94<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSwitzerland 90.82<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMexico 89.52<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGermany 89.40<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nIndia 88.95<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThailand 88.06<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMorocco 87.66<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAustria 86.86<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nDominica 86.62<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBhutan 86.31<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSouth Africa 85.08<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the only ranking in which Canada placed high.
