Highlighting the world’s best travel experiences


As Australia’s largest independent travel publication, International Traveller‘s mission statement is to “connect Australians to their incredible overseas experiences” through our valuable, inspirational content. Part of this includes highlighting the best-in-class experiences the world has to offer, so that our readers are able to identify adventures that they’ll cherish for years.

From unforgettable day tours, to top-notch acommodation, to essential international destinations, it’s these exceptional experiences that make global tourism what it is today.

The Top in Travel mark is our endorsement of a high-quality travel experience that readers and web visitors alike can associate as a symbol of trust. We issue this badge to only those hotels, restaurants, activities and attractions which go above and beyond, and create stories that exemplify our wonderful tourism industry.

How is the Top in Travel chosen?

When determining eligibility for the Top in Travel badge, we look at a number of criteria including:

  • Uniqueness of experience: is the experience one that’s hard to replicate elsewhere? Does it offer something exceptional (scenery, taste, service, insight) that most competitors do not?
  • Quality of experience: does the operator go “above and beyond” with their customer service? Are there fewer “cut corners” in terms of product quality than most competitors?
  • Desirability of experience: does the experience have special aspects that make it inherently beautiful, aspirational, or otherwise exceptionally desirable? Simply put: is there a “wow” factor of some kind?
  • Do you feel your experience deserves to rank amongst the Top in Travel? Drop us a line at topintravel@internationaltraveller.com and one of our editorial team will get back to you to discuss the merits of your tourism business.
