For this award program, the winning city will be awarded the exclusive title and logo of "Best European Destination". This will further promote the city to public and private partners, working as a campaign to promote the city for a whole year until the next EBD awards.

Further supporting Milan’s potential to become the European Best Destination of 2018 is the huge increase in social media support.

Since 2009, there has been a record growth of visitors with over 4 million users, enhancing Milan’s ability to become a tourist flywheel for other Italian destinations.
