NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lonely Planet
has reimagined its Best in Travel picks for 2021, to reflect the
new world of travel, partnering with KAYAK to seamlessly search
destinations making a difference with their focus on
sustainability, community and diversity. Rather than delivering a
destination bucket list, Lonely Planet focused on how people travel
now: outdoors; in family groups; purposefully; with careful
attention to the communities they will explore.
With this year's Best in Travel list, Lonely Planet is sharing
diverse voices in travel highlighting accessible, inclusive and
under-explored experiences, showcasing the people, businesses and
places making a difference in 2020.
Destination highlights from Lonely Planet's Best in Travel List
2021 include:
Sustainability- Discover the remarkable people and places
transforming travel and making the world a better place – for now
and future generations: Rwanda,
Palau, Gothenburg, Sweden
Diversity- Celebrate the people and places that illuminate the
mosaic of stories and perspectives found around the world: El
Hierro, Spain, Hiakai,
New Zealand, Gullah Islands,
USA
Community- People who live and work within their communities know
what kind of travel will benefit them locally, authentic and
unforgettable experiences that give back: Kazakhstan, Faroe
Islands, Medellín, Colombia
KAYAK is joining Lonely Planet on a shared mission to help
people experience the world and to champion those who make travel a
force for good– something both organizations think is vital in
preparation for a better 2021 and beyond.
"When the time is right for them, we know that travelers will
want to explore the world differently. We've partnered with KAYAK
not only because of the intuitive widget that is integrated into
Lonely Planet content to make it easier to jumpstart those future
travel plans, but also because of KAYAK's recent initiatives in the
categories we are highlighting in this year's Best in Travel
awards," said Mike Nelson, Global
Director of Growth and Partnerships at Lonely Planet.
Every traveler can make a difference and, this year, Lonely
Planet champions businesses, storytellers and places who make
sustainability a top priority. More than ever, travelers are
looking for ways to travel more sustainably. In select markets
KAYAK's eco-friendly filter and CO2 sorter allow travelers to
filter flight searches for greener options.
For those interested in visiting one of the destinations in
Lonely Planet's "Best in Travel Picks" for 2021, KAYAK's suite of
tools, ranging from Explore to the leading metasearch's
Travel Restrictions map, help travelers navigate a COVID-19
