ENIT wins the 29th Grand Travel Award

Italy is the best destination for Scandinavian travelers. Italy has won the 29th edition of the Grand Travel Award, organized by the historic trade publication Travel News, a leader in the sector since 1985. The event was held during a gala evening at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, under the flag of the great travel trade traditions.

The evening introduced awards in 11 categories from the tourism industry, a competition between suppliers both nationally and internationally, and it was Italy that earned the "Best Tourism Country in the World 2022" award.

Voting was organized by the Nordic Bench Institute through interviews with approximately 3,700 consumer-travelers (both for leisure and business) and travel agency employees.

The other award categories included airlines and hotel chains (domestic and international), followed by car rentals and cruises, as well as charter operators, special segment operators and companies with an eco-sustainable profile.
