For the sixth year in a row, Chile was chosen as the World’s Best Adventure Travel Destination, surpassing other important places such as Australia, Azores, Canada, Ecuador, Jamaica, Japan, Mauritius, New Zealand, Ras Al Khaimah, Sri Lanka and the United States.
The award highlights the country’s attributes as the best in the world for the practice of adventure tourism, closely linked to the extraordinary Chilean nature throughout its territory.
“Being once again the world champions of adventure tourism fills us with pride, joy, enthusiasm and commitment to the reactivation of tourism in our country, an economic sector so important and necessary for thousands of small and medium-sized companies that give life to tourism in Chile and for hundreds of places that have made tourism their main activity”, said the Undersecretary of Tourism, Jose Luis Uriarte, about the recognition.
Meanwhile, the national director of Sernatur, Andrea Wolleter, celebrated the award and said that “this is excellent news. Our country is the ideal place for adventure tourism and a world-class destination. From north to south there are possibilities to enjoy beaches, mountains, volcanoes, the mountain range and an endless number of natural settings”.
It is worth mentioning that last October, Chile was crowned for the seventh consecutive time as the Best Adventure Travel Destination in South America, a recognition also awarded by the World Travel Awards. On that occasion, the Atacama Desert was also recognized as the Best Romantic Destination.
