Lonely Planet has just released its 2008 traveler’s pulse survey. As part of the survey, respondents ranked the country they were most likely to visit next. The US came out on top, followed by Australia. Canada came in ninth. This is an improvement from 2007, when Canada did not make the top ten. In the question of what is your favourite country among those that you have visited, Canada also came in ninth (both in 2007 and 2008), with Australia and Italy leading the list.
