| Early this year, like we have for the last 16 years, we called on our global community of staff, writers, videographers, photographers, bloggers, partners and fellow travel enthusiasts to come up with the world's leading travel list. And then Covid-19 hit. Disruption, deprioritization and downgrading of travel followed, and our historic list of the top 10 regions, cities and countries seemed tone deaf in a new environment.
We went back to the drawing board. How could we make travel relevant at a time when it was far from mind for most people? And that's when we hit on it. What makes travel so amazing - it's the people, places, businesses and organisations who show us the best of the industry globally.
This year we are celebrating those shining beacons in sustainability, community and diversity. We salute the individuals behind the inspirational stories featured in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2021. Like them, we cannot wait to start traveling again – once it is safe. Until then please enjoy the wonderful achievements of our winners who are changing travel for the better in their every action, every initiative and every day. |
