Travel Site Says WHAT About Utah? Spotlights Eye-Opening Reviews

I like awards that come from the consumers like the People’s Choice Awards. It shows you are having success with those who care the most about your product. These awards based on customer reviews hold more water for me. 

Most Welcoming Places on Earth

Traveler Review Awards for 2025 were recently released based on 360 million people who posted about places they have visited. That is more people then live in the entire United States. They gave awards for the most welcoming locations. 

These are the 13th annual awards given out by the site Bookings.com. The reviews are verified and totaled and had to have at least and 8 out of 10.

Cities and regions throughout the world won for the most welcoming including Sigiriya, Sri Lanka at the top followed locations in Spain and Brazil. They also looked at the most welcoming places in the United States. 

The States Reviewers Found Most Welcoming 

Along with Hawaii and Washington D.C. was Utah and Idaho. The beehive state isn’t the highest, but we did get a nod. This is pretty heady territory when you realize what others say about you when they go online.

I’m not surprised as Utahns are pretty congenial. I just haven’t thought we were always putting out the welcome mat.

If you really want welcoming, visit St. Augustine, Florida. This city made all of the lists including the worldwide one. I visited this place earlier this year and they definitely cater to visitors. If you go there, spend the money for the bus tour. It will make you want to write a positive review.
