“In a world still struggling with a pandemic, it’s difficult to celebrate. However, this achievement was earned by our staff of passionate, caring, and loving humans that deserve recognition so we will celebrate it in style. I continue to be humbled and proud of their efforts as they strive to put the customer’s safety and memorable experiences above all else. As well, our partner distilleries, attractions, restaurants, and bars are incredibly creative and compassionate in their willingness to support the guests we are bringing to their destinations. We share this award with them,” said Lisa Higgins, owner of Mint Julep Experiences.

“Congratulations to all the winners of the 2021 Travelers’ Choice Awards,” said Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor. “I know the past year has been extremely challenging for tourism businesses.
