Billings, Montana — For the second consecutive year, Austin-Lehman Adventures was named one of the top two tour operators in the world by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Finishing in the number one spot in 2009 and the number two spot in 2010, Austin-Lehman continues to distinguish itself as the consumer favorite with its active small group adventures that take travelers off the beaten path and provide a highly personal experience.

In the just released 2010 August issue of Travel + Leisure featuring the World's Best Awards readers' survey, ALA scored 96.60 out of 100 points - the highest score of any active travel/adventure Tour Operator. Austin-Lehman Adventures (www.austinlehman.com) offers 47 trips in North, Central and South America, Europe and Africa.

"We are absolutely delighted to once again be recognized by the discerning readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. It is a tribute to our entire team who work tirelessly to ensure that our guests fully connect with a destination and come back feeling refreshed, revitalized and invigorated. We are committed to making each trip a life changing experience," said Dan Austin, co-founder and director of Austin-Lehman Adventures.

"It's the small touches that are so meaningful," commented co-founder Paul Lehman. "The black-out sleeping masks in Alaska to cope with 22-hours of sunlight, being wrapped in a warm towel following a rafting trip or enjoying a cup of tea with a Berber family after a vigorous hike in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It is our desire to always provide a 'five-star' experience even in the middle of the wilderness and we are so gratified that these efforts are being acknowledged."

For 15 years Travel + Leisure has announced the "World's Best" awards in their August edition which just hit the newsstands. The entire list can also be found online at www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/2010.
