These three spots in B.C. were named as some of the most loved travel destinations in the world and they are absolutely stunning.

Destinations around the world were given a score based on how much people love them, and B.C. has multiple scenic towns in the top 100 that were ranked.

The destinations were ranked by the Tourism Sentiment Index, which broke down 100 of the most beloved places to travel.

The ranking was done by researching positive travel feedback on social media posts as well as factors like accommodation, events, transportation and attractions in the city.

The highest score on the list of 100 destinations was 37.90, for Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.

Other Canadian provinces such as Alberta and Ontario were also spotted on the list — but not as many times as the beautiful B.C. was!

B.C. is home to so many natural wonders and hidden gems, it's no surprise that it beat out other provinces.
