Certainly this is not a regular award, Chris Zeiher of Lonely Planet delivered in a tourist portal site, KompasTravel, that the award was given based on recommendations culled from hundreds of ideas submitted a team consisting of a writer, blogger, twitter, including the tourists.

"A panel of travel experts and then fine-tune the list based on a variety of factors, including timeliness, convenience in travel as well as other values," he said.
