Greece was voted for the fourth consecutive year as the World’s Best Tourism Destination at the Global Traveler’s GT Tested Reader Survey awards 2024, recognized for its unique tourism offerings.

The GT Tested Reader Survey Awards, organized by the travel magazine Global Traveler (FX Express Publications), are regarded as one of the most prestigious accolades in the US travel industry.

For 21 years, the magazine’s readers have been voting for its annual survey, conducted through print editions, its website (globaltravelerusa.com), social media, and email. The 2024 survey ran from December 13, 2023, to August 31, 2024, with thousands of readers sharing their preferences across 80 categories, including destinations, hotels, airlines.

Greece, along with the other winners, were revealed in a special feature published in the magazine’s December 2024 issue.

This is Greece’s sixth accolade in the US travel market this year, following recognitions at the Leisure Lifestyle Awards 2024 in May, The Trazees Awards in August, the Wherever Awards in September, as well as Recommend’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards and the Travvy Awards in November.

Konstantinos Harokopos, the head of Greek National Tourism Organization’s (GNTO) office in North America, will attend the awarding ceremony on behalf of Greece on December 11 at L’Ermitage Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.
