The Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s typically awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our eight million listings, fewer than 1% are able to achieve this milestone.
