Tripadvisor is the world's largest travel platform and has 463 million travelers visiting their site each month. Each year, The Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title “celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel”. 

These are awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over 12 months. Out of their eight million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.

One of their list of the Best of the Best Things to Do shortlisted the 25 Top Attractions – Asia. As their site reads, “From natural wonders to man-made marvels, these are the most-loved attractions in the world—according to the travelers who ‘ooh-ed’ and 'ahh-ed' at them.”
