Last October, the city of Cannes was named “Europe’s Best Destination” by the World Travel Awards 2021, a new distinction was given to the pearl of palaces by the same institution which is akin to the “Oscars of tourism”.
Indeed, Cannes this time becomes the runner-up in the world category for “Best Destination for Festivals and Events”.
