Hoi An City in the central province of Quang Nam, home to a UNESCO world
heritage ancient town, has been voted the world’s best tourism city by UK
tourism magazine Wanderlust.
The Wanderlust Travel Awards 2013
went to the Vietnamese city with a whopping 98.18 percent satisfaction rating
from the magazine’s 3,000 surveyed readers who are described as UK's most
dynamic tourists.
Only those who traveled abroad
from December 2011 to November 2012 could join the voting.
During the award ceremony
recently held in London, Lyn Hughes, the magazine co-founder and
editor-in-chief, handed the gold award certificate for Hoi An to Le Thi Thu
Hang, a Vietnamese diplomat stationed in the UK.
“Some 976 cities joined this
year’s voting, but nowhere was appreciated as high as Hoi An. Almost all UK
travelers reviewed that Hoi An was a beautiful city with very nice beaches and
attractive landscapes,” said Ms. Lyn.
The runner-up Cusco, Peru – the gateway
to Machu Picchu – is back in the top 10 for the first time since 2009 with
95.76 percent satisfaction rate, followed by the Japanese city of Kyoto, with
94.81 percent.
Other cities in the world that
were voted by Wanderlust readers include Bagan of Myanmar, Copenhagen of
Denmark, Udaipur of India, New York and San Francisco of the USA, Venice of
Italy, and Siem Reap of Cambodia.
In addition to this award, the
magazine's readers also voted on other categories such as the favorite
countries for travel, emerging destinations, travel blogs, tour operators,
airports and airlines.
Vietnam was ranked 9th in the
‘top country category’ with 93.67 percent satisfaction in The Wanderlust Travel
Awards 2013.
Wanderlust magazine was founded
in 1993 and has grown rapidly to more than 100,000 readers in 112 countries.
