London was the second most popular destination followed by Dubai, Rome and Paris. Both the British capital and the latter two also occupy the top positions in the European ranking.
In this edition of 2021, Spain has four award-winning destinations, one of them worldwide. Barcelona has been ranked 9th in the general list and 5th in the European list, a list in which they are also Tenerife, in the 8th place; Madrid in the 13th and Mallorca in the 15th.

In the first, the Caribbean island of Martinique was awarded first, followed by Panama City Beach (Florida) and the Brazilian Armaçao dos Búzios. While the three winning trend destinations have been Cabo San Lucas, in Mexico; the French island of Corsica and Doha in Qatar.
