We look for places to stay and places to visit across categories—hotels, cruises, restaurants, attractions, and more—around the world, with an eye toward the new and exciting.
The application for the 2025 edition of World’s Greatest Places is now open!
The Categories
Why Enter?
Entry ensures that TIME’s editorial team is aware of the incredible work and impact that you and your team are creating. Even if we already know about your company or organization, we may not be aware of a particular achievement or milestone—the application offers an opportunity to share these essential updates with our team.
The final, unranked list will include companies and local organizations sourced from applications as well as from TIME’s independent reporting.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
Entries are considered by TIME’s editorial team and evaluated on a number of criteria including:
- Relevance
- Impact
- Innovation
- Success
All told, TIME will recognize 100 places to stay and visit from around the world across a variety of categories, including hotels, resorts, cruises, restaurants, bars, attractions, cultural institutions, and more.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IF MY COMPANY IS RECOGNIZED ON THIS LIST?
