NEW YORK — New York topped Travel + Leisure’s list of Top Ten Cities in the Continental U.S. and Canada, according to the magazine’s 2008 World’s Best Awards readers’ survey.
This marks the eighth year in a row that New York ranked No. 1. Savannah, Ga., made the list for its first time in the thirteen years of the Travel + Leisure Magazine’s survey.
“Travel + Leisure Magazine is a benchmark publication for leisure travel around the world,” said Joseph Marinelli, president of the Savannah Convention & Visitors Bureau. “To break into this list of top ten cities is an accomplishment that says volumes about our tourism product and the people that make our destination one of the world’s best.”
The complete list:
- New York
- San Francisco
- Chicago
- Charleston, S.C.
- Santa Fe
- Quebec City
- Montreal
- Vancouver
- Savannah
- Victoria, British Columbia
A questionnaire developed by the editors of Travel + Leisure, in association with Harris Interactive, was made available to Travel + Leisure subscribers from January to March 2008. Readers were asked to rate cities for sights, culture/arts, restaurants/food, people, shopping and over all value.
Travel + Leisure magazine readers also voted on their favorite hotels, islands, spas, cruise lines, airlines, tour outfitters, and car-rental agencies. The 2008 World’s Best Awards readers’ survey results (listed by overall and regional rankings) and survey methodology will be featured in the August issue of Travel + Leisure magazine, and is available on-line now at www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest.
