It was suggested to me that the Panasonic ZS70S is one of the best travel cameras.
Are there any other suggestions?

I use one of these, it's used as a travel camera/back up camera. This camera is very compact, produces very good images and fits in any small pocket.

I just purchased a Canon G9C Mk II. I don't particularly need a long tele in a travel camera, and this is very small and easily fits in a pocket. I plan on using it for a travel camera - heading to London this summer. It has a 1" 20MP sensor, and has lots of the typical Canon features - hand-held low-light multi-shot images, in-camera HDR, etc. What I have seen so far impresses me.

There is a huge variation in price for compact cameras.

It all depends on what you want to do with the images when you get home. Will you want to be printing any and how large? Or just viewing on a computer screen.

I use the Sony HX-99 because it has a 24-720mm Zeiss T* lens, same lens company that made the lenses for my Hasselblad back in the day. The camera also features a pop up viewfinder, very nice for outside shots. Shoots RAW if you want that and offers up to 6 stops of HDR. Coupled with a flash that offers excellent fill flash and rear curtain for those night fill flash needs.
I like it best because it fits in a lens pouch that I put on my belt to stay hands free so I can travel in comfort and enjoy myself. Below is a sample shot with this camera, the last shot is from our Rhine River Trip, did I mention that the rear screen articulates for low shots and selfies.

If price is not a problem then Sony RX10 IV.
Absolutely, providing (as you said) price is not an issue. I bought one in July 2018 for a Danube river cruise in August. It is a fabulous camera. Actually, I've only used my two Canon DSLR's a couple of times since July. It is a bridge camera with an f/2.4-4 lens and 24 - 600 focal range.
