The awards are recognising more than 1.25 million travel providers around the world for their hospitality, including 53,623 in the UK.

The UK towns and cities recognised in the top 10 alongside Enniskillen include Kirkwall, Orkney; Ballycastle, Co. Antrim; Frome, Somerset; Lerwick, Shetland; Wick, Highlands; Bushmills, Co. Antrim; Newcastle, Co. Down; Glastonbury, Somerset; and Kelso, Scottish Borders.

Destinations had to have at least 50 award recipients in each city to be included in this list and were sorted by the highest share of winners per destination.
