TripAdvisor has announced its Travellers’ Choice™ awards for Landmarks. This year’s awards honour more than 700 landmarks worldwide including lists for Asia, Africa, Caribbean, Europe, South America, the South Pacific, the U.K., and the U.S.
The annual awards are based on the millions of reviews and opinions from TripAdvisor travellers across the globe. Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews for landmarks worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.
Angkor Wat in Cambodia topped the world list, followed by Machu Picchu in Peru and India’s Taj Mahal.
“The Travellers’ Choice Landmarks highlight some of the world’s most iconic, must-see attractions that have won over the TripAdvisor community,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor. “Travellers can experience colourful history and culture at these award-winning sights.”
