Wellington Voted 18th 'Hottest' City in the World!
Wellington has been voted the 18th hottest city in the world to visit at the prestigious Conde Nast Traveller Magazine UK awards. It was the only New Zealand city to appear on the list of the world's top 100 cities.
The awards - dubbed the "Oscars of the Travel World" - are decided by readers who vote for their favourite destinations, accommodation and other travel activities. New Zealand took out third place in the best countries award and Air New Zealand won best airline.
Positively Wellington Tourism's Chief Executive Tim Cossar said the placing was a stunning success for Wellington. "To have such an endorsement from one of the world's leading travel publications is absolutely priceless and it is big praise from one of our most important international visitor markets."
Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast welcomed the award and said it was further evidence, if any were needed, that Wellington is the hottest city in New Zealand. "This is a fantastic achievement and something this city can be very proud of. It's incredible to think that just 15 years ago Wellington barely had a tourism industry. Now we are among the world's most desirable visitor destinations."
Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive George Hickton said the awards were particularly significant because they were voted on a magazine read by the sorts of visitors New Zealand is trying to attract.
"These are highly affluent, seasoned travellers. So to have them return home speaking so favourably about New Zealand and Wellington is a wonderful boost to our reputation offshore, and to the positive word of mouth that is growing about this destination."
