I oktober 2007 rangerte det anerkjente reisemagasinet National Geographic Traveler Lofoten som tredje beste øyrike i verden, etter Færøyene og Azorene.
Dette er hva National Geographic skriver om Lofoten: "Chilly, high-latitude islands form a "masterpiece" of spectacular outcrops steeped in cherished tradition. Many of the villagers rent out cozy rorbu, the historic fishermen's cabins". " There are several excellent museums and art galleries".
De fortsetter:
"Tourism development professional, appropriate, and benefiting a local population that is therefore very supportive. Information well-organized and sustainability guaranteed. In all a top destination."
