The award celebrates destinations that have received excellent reviews from travelers around the globe on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months.
Blue Hole stood out by consistently delivering positive experiences to tourists and Wimberley residents alike, despite the COVID challenges of the past year.
“Blue Hole is such a gem” said Richard Shaver, Wimberley’s director of parks and recreation. “This year, we are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the historic Blue Hole becoming a public park, and it is great that this park is admired by so many people from around the world, but especially by the people that we serve right here in Wimberley.”
Kanika Soni, chief commercial officer at Tripadvisor, said that the award recognizes the best in tourism and hospitality according to those who matter most: its guests.
“Ranking among the Travelers’ Choice winners is always tough — but never more so than this year as we emerge from the pandemic,” Soni said. “Whether it's using new technology, implementing safety measures, or hiring outstanding staff, I’m impressed by the steps you've taken to meet travelers' new demands. You've adapted brilliantly in the face of adversity."
