Book a flight to your happy place. Two major reports published this year rank the world’s happiest countries and offer travelers some winningly convivial destinations. The World Happiness Report—commissioned by the United Nations—offers a snapshot of the state of happiness in today’s world, while the Happy Planet Index report measures how countries balance personal well-being, environmental impact, and life expectancy. Plan your next trip right and the happiness just might rub off on you.
