About The Travel Weekly Magellan Awards
The Magellan Awards are judged and overseen by a one-of-a-kind panel
of top travel professionals representing the best names and most accomplished
leaders from the industry. In determining winners, entries do not compete
with one another, instead they are judged against a standard of excellence
based on the long experience of Travel Weekly. To uphold this high standard
of excellence, a category may have multiple winners, or may have no winners
at all.
