NEEDHAM, Mass., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With a year's
worth of pent-up travel demand on the brink of bursting as summer
approaches, Tripadvisor®, the world's largest travel
guidance platform, today announced its annual Travelers'
Choice® Best of the Best Awards for Hotels,
giving people the inspiration they need to finally turn their
daydreams into real trips. Nearly half (45%) of Americans in a
recent Tripadvisor survey are planning to travel internationally
this year, and 64% are planning to stay in a hotel this year*.
Every year, Tripadvisor combs through the millions of reviews
from its global community of travelers to surface the hotels that
people raved about most, and this year is no different. Even during
the pandemic, travelers continued to discover, book, and give
feedback on places to stay, both near and far. Despite significant
disruption to the hospitality industry in 2020, hotels around the
world found new ways to dazzle guests and deliver top-of-the-line
service.

2021, across all categories, visit:

"As the world gears up for a busier summer travel season,
Tripadvisor's highly coveted Best of the Best Awards are here to

officer at Tripadvisor. "From tropical bungalows in the
Caribbean to scenic safari lodges
in Africa, this year's winners
span six continents and 83 countries — plenty of options to cover
any type of trip travelers are craving."
