Every year, TripAdvsior releases its annual list of the global top tourist destinations, hotels, restaurants, and things to do based on reviews and ratings, and once again, Bali has been recognized as one of the world’s most popular travel destinations through the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards of 2024, according to reporting from Tempo.
For the third year in a row, Dubai has secured the top position on the list of most popular destinations. According to TripAdvisor, Dubai offers tourists a particularly spectacular experience, from the ultra-modern Burj Khalifa to the souks and malls filled with gold and jewelry vendors.
“It’s a place where if you can dream it, you can do it, whether that means skiing indoors, dune-surfing in the desert, or zip-lining above the city,” TripAdvisor noted.
Tempo says that Bali ranked second on the list, followed by London, Hanoi, Rome, and Paris.
TripAdvisor says the Indonesian paradise island feels like a fantasy, where tourists can soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand and dive along coral ridges or the colorful remains of a World War II warship, according to reporting from Tempo.
“The ‘artistic capital’ of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class,” it said.
This is the list of the top ten most popular destinations, according to TripAdvisor:
1. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
2. Bali, Indonesia
3. London, United Kingdom
4. Hanoi, Vietnam
5. Rome, Italy
6. Paris, France
7. Cancun, Mexico
8. Marrakech, Morocco
9. Crete, Greece
10. Hoi An, Vietnam
