The Traveler’s Choice Best of the Best Awards, an annual event hosted by the renowned travel planning platform, TripAdvisor, stands as a pinnacle moment eagerly awaited by the global tourism industry.
These prestigious awards are conferred upon select tourist destinations, hotels, and restaurants based on the meticulous evaluation of reviews and ratings submitted by travelers over the preceding 12 months.
In the year 2024, Bali achieved a remarkable feat by clinching a coveted spot on TripAdvisor’s esteemed roster of the world’s premier destinations. Securing the second position, Bali’s ascendancy to this prestigious echelon came amidst fierce competition, trailing merely one rank behind Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Dubai, a perennial favorite and recipient of the title “best destination in the world” for the third consecutive year, further solidified its status as a magnet for TripAdvisor’s discerning reviewers.
