World’s Travel Top-Ranked Experiences

Travel Weekly

NEW RESEARCH FROM TRIPADVISOR HAS REVEALED THAT TRAVELLERS ARE OBSESSED WITH TRAVEL EXPERIENCES THAT PUT THEM IN TOUCH WITH NATURE.

The travel review platform has compiled a list of the world’s top-ranked experiences for travel which shows, based on ratings from travellers themselves, that Australia has ranked at number six in the world’s top 10 countries for travel experiences.

Costa Rica – known for rainforests, volcanos, beaches and surfing – took the top spot on both the country and destination lists.

New Zealand, famed for its adventure tourism, ranked second among the best countries and Vietnam, known for its bustling cities, delicious food and beautiful coastline took third place.

Closer to home, Australia’s variety of scenic experiences for travellers, such as the Ayers Rock (Uluru) Sunrise and Segway and a Full-Day Maria Island Scenic Cruise Including Buffet Lunch and Guided Walk, propelled the country into the top 10 country list for experiences.
