Melbourne makes Frommer’s Top Ten
NEW YORK – Frommer’s chooses not to call them “hot spots†but each year the travel company comes up with a list of destinations that travelers “should consider in the year ahead.â€
These are often up-and-coming or overlooked or underestimated or simply alternatives to tourist traps.
“This year, Frommer’s reached out to its readers as well and came up with a Top Destination list that includes a Reader Favorite selection.
“Perhaps predictable, but always treasured and trendy, our readers chose Paris as this year’s Reader Favorite,†says the company.
The remaining destinations were selected by Frommer’s writers and staff as a mix of value picks, spots that are gearing up for a big event, alternative choices to nearby popular and overrun tourist sites, and destinations that are justifiably hyped and should be visited.
“We recognize that it’s difficult to whittle the world down to just a dozen or so places and that each annual list will inevitably exclude some place our readers are eager to visit,†said Frommers.com editorial director David Lytle.
He added: “So, this year, we decided to give them the opportunity to nominate and then vote on the place most of them would like to visit in 2010.
“Everybody has an opinion, and we wanted Frommers.com readers to be able to quantify theirs.â€
The Top Ten:
• *Reader Favorite: Paris
• Santiago de Cuba
• Florida Panhandle Beaches
• Hawaii (the Big Island),
• Salta Province, Argentina
• Mexico City
• Melbourne
• Hanoi
• Kerala
• Abu Dhabi
• Tunisia
• Copenhagen
• Isles of Scilly
