South Australia was named one of the top 10 most welcoming regions on Earth in Booking.com's annual traveller review awards destination list for 2025.
The listing was based on more than 360 million verified customer reviews on leading travel website Booking.com and honoured travel partners consistently delivering outstanding hospitality and service.
The respected listing in Bokkings.com positioned South Australia as a leader in outstanding hospitality among regions such as Osijek-Baranja, Croatia; Misiones, Argentina; and Bretagne, France.
Another major win for South Australia in the traveller review awards was Eyre Peninsula’s Port Lincoln being named as one of the 10 most welcoming cities in Australia.

- Murray River named in National Geographic’s 25 best places in the world to travel in 2025

- Architectural Digest listed Adelaide as one of the 20 most beautiful cities in the world
