European Best Destinations is a European non-profit making organization based in Brussels and developed to promote culture and tourism in Europe. In partnership with the participating tourism offices the organization promotes a better understanding of the wealth, diversity and quality of European destinations and Europe as the number one destination in the world. One of the most significant activities of this non-profit organization is to develop e-tourism in Europe and to serve as a link between tourist offices and travellers. It has become the meeting place for tourism offices and world travellers and a main gateway for disseminating information by means of social networks. On the European Best Destination pages, the world’s travellers have access to the best photographs, videos and advice on what to see in over 140 destinations.

This online competition has been organized to encourage excellence, enhance the image of the winning destination and thus attract a higher number of visitors. The competition winner enjoys special benefits since it can use the best European destination logo in its advertising campaigns and promotional materials. Its public and private partners can also use the logo. Besides, the winner gets a professionally designed photo and tourist guides which ensure the destination’s maximum visibility not only in Europe but also worldwide. It is not just the winning destination which benefits from this competition in excellence but also all the other candidates who make it to the Top 10 destinations based on the website readers’ vote as their names will feature on the European Best Destinations website and its main social networks the whole year. Those destinations can also use the logo of the best European destination and thus enhance their visibility among travellers.
