India voted No 1 travel destination

The readers of swish magazine Condé Nast Traveller has voted India the world’s favorite country to visit.

This year the magazine’s readers rated India as best in the world for culture, value for money and the sheer scale and variety of its attractions.

Last year’s winner, Italy, was ranked number two and Thailand, which attracts more Western tourists than anywhere else in the world, was at number three.

The awards are given annually for the hotels, airlines, islands, tour operators, spas, cruise lines, cities and countries ranked ‘best in the world’ by the magazine’s readers.

Though the awards are hardly definitive, the winner in each category is seen to gain considerable cachet as the choice of the big-spender classes.
