There were more than 3 million votes from 168,000 readers, who all share a passion for travel, in 22 categories, which distinguish the most desired countries and cities in Europe and the world.

Madeira was distinguished by the readers of Wanderlust Magazine as one of the most sought-after Islands in Europe, reinforcing, according to those responsible for tourism in the Autonomous Region, “the international recognition and position of Madeira as a destination of excellence, which stands out for its natural heritage, hospitality and diversity of experiences, both on land and at sea.

President of the Madeira Promotion Association and Regional Secretary of Economy, Tourism and Culture, Eduardo Jesus, also highlights that “the awards and distinctions received are always important recognition for our work, but they also increase demands and serve as incentives for us to continue to position ourselves as a reference destination, offering different and unique experiences.”
