NEEDHAM,
Mass., July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viator,
the world's largest travel experiences marketplace, today announced
the winners of the 2024 Viator Experience Awards.
Now in its third year, Viator's annual Experience Awards rank
the world's top travel experiences as chosen by the company's
millions of global travelers. This year, the awards program
recognizes over 400 global tours, activities, and excursions – once
again setting the bar for the best things to do and see.
"These awards highlight some of the world's best travel
experiences – and the incredible guides, operators, and small and
large businesses that make them possible," said Laurel Greatrix, vice president of brand and
marketing at Viator. "The winner's list reads as the ultimate
bucket list – snorkeling between tectonic plates in Iceland, a candlelit dinner down the Danube,
an exploration of the pyramids with a private, personal guide. It
serves as a reminder of how truly extraordinary this planet
is."
What's trending in 2024?
Culturally-driven tours and
culinary experiences dominated the 2024 Experience Award
rankings.
As travelers look to dive deep into destinations' rich local
cultures, it's not surprising that all of the global regions
spotlighted in Viator's 2024 Experience Awards include at least one
winning historical or cultural tour. From exploring temples on an
after-dark tuk-tuk tour in Bangkok, to learning about the history and
hauntings of Salem, Massachusetts,
to experiencing the hidden world below Prague's Old Town – travelers have a lot to
choose from.
Travelers are also seeking out food-related experiences as a
unique way to fully immerse into a destination's culture and
traditions. Cooking classes and street food tours are two of
Viator's top five best-reviewed travel experience categories in
2024. This year's award-winning experiences offer ample culinary
travel inspiration, with activities like a cocktail and food
history tour in New Orleans,
a hands-on Peruvian cooking class in Lima, and a private street food walking
tour in Ho Chi Minh
City ranking among travelers' favorites.
