As the new year begins, people around the world are looking to the future, including those under retirement age.

Those who are about to retire from work are looking for a healthy residential environment in which they find calm and stability after long years of hard work, and these destinations may be external destinations in a different country. There are studies that can be used to find the best international destination for retirees, most notably the Mercer Global Pension Index, which produces a list for each year and recently released its list.
