The new Top 100 will be unveiled at Global Green Destinations Day, 28 September 2017, at the Greenfest Cascais, Portugal.
The 2017 Sustainable Destinations Top 100 will build upon the results of the 2016 Top 100 competition "Destinations of Future Generations", a follow-up to the 2014 Top 100 and National Geographic Traveler’s Destination Stewardship surveys.

- Economically sustainable: involving the local business community and enhancing local community employment during and beyond the holiday season;
- Environmentally sustainable: ensuring public health, safety and sound environmental management;
