Popular Post webfact Posted February 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2021 TripAdvisor names Bangkok and Phuket among Top 15 most popular destinations worldwide Travellers' Choice Awards 2021 represent where people visited when travel was open and where they dream to go TAT Newsroom Bangkok, 8 February, 2021 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is pleased to announce that Bangkok and Phuket have been named eighth and 14th, respectively among the Top 15 “Popular Destinations — World” in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2021. The result was based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings from TripAdvisor travellers for accommodation, restaurants, and things to do in destinations worldwide between 1 December, 2019, and 30 November, 2020. The Awards represent where people visited last year while travel was still open, as well as where they dreamed of going while the pandemic kept them stuck at home. Bangkok remains a must-visit city with a very eclectic list of attractions. As modern developments push deeper into Bangkok’s cultural heart, the temples and markets of the city’s Old Town are now served with a new modern transportation infrastructure that makes travel around the Thai capital easier than ever before. This includes a new Blue Line underground train extension to historic Rattanakosin Island, while a more contemporary and cosmopolitan Bangkok now boasts multiple Michelin starred restaurants to complement its vibrant Thai street food scene. Often referred to as the ‘Pearl of the Andaman’, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island. With an impressive coastline featuring long stretches of sandy beach strung together by dramatic rock formations, it has been attracting people to its shores for decades. It offers over 30 beaches to choose from, many of them easily accessible and featuring pristine white sand and azure blue waters. With a variety of beach hotels to choose from, Phuket is a natural choice to twin with Bangkok. While travel to Thailand is limited at this time due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2021 serve as inspiration for when global travel can again become a reality.

Why does everyone get their knickers in a twist about this stuff? Thailand is / was a popular destination loved by millions of holiday makers a year. Only the old gits who've lived here for years and become bitter and full of hatred for the country can't admit that. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/TravelersChoice-Destinations-cPopular-g1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techietraveller84 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Someone should do a report on the most popular destinations in the world by #s of visitors after COVID took over the headlines. I wonder if they'd all be in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
