Seemingly,
Nimes is aiming for 2018 alongside
Carnac.
Hopewell seems more and more unlikely, because the NPS is not pursuing any nominations until the current issue with UNESCO membership/payments is resolved. The US nominations for 2014, 2015, and 2016 were all officially chosen before the Palestinian dilema. Korea's natural nomination
