22 May, 2013 - TripAdvisor®, the world’s largest travel site*, announces the winners of its 2013 Travellers’ Choice® Destinations Awards, honouring the top destinations in the world as decided by millions of travellers.
London comes third in the world in this year’s Traveller’s Choice Destinations Awards – just pipped to the post by Paris and New York City which take first and second place respectively.
Angus Struthers, TripAdvisor spokesperson, commented: “These awards honour the world’s best destinations as decided by those judges that really matter - travellers themselves. Now that the Jubilympics are over it’s vital that UK tourism continues to flourish so it’s great news that London is rated so highly among the world’s and Europe’s best destinations.”
Gordon Innes, CEO of London & Partners the Mayor’s official promotional organisation for London commented:
“We are delighted to hear that London remains in the top rankings of the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Destinations Awards. These are crucial awards for us as they are voted for directly by visitors. The Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Diamond Jubilee were all brilliant moments for London to shine in 2012 and the magic continues here in the UK capital for 2013. Major events such as the reopening of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in July, the anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation along with our world-class music concerts and sporting events will give even more reason for visitors to return to London in the years to come.”
Travellers worldwide love the North West
