To list down the 2017 Hot List, the Condé Nast Traveler team of 60 reporters, editors, and photographers flew a collective 529,500 miles ‘sausaged’ in coach, slept in roughly 200 beds, and had passports stamped in more than 50 countries between them. The list this year had been the “most selective ever”, said Condé Nast Traveler, as only 11 percent of the 675 contenders they started with made the list this year.
