WORLD’S ICONIC DESTINATIONS RATED (National Geographic)
WASHINGTON (Oct. 21, 2009)—In conjunction with National Geographic Society’s
Center for Sustainable Destinations, National Geographic Traveler has devoted
its sixth annual “Places Rated” Destination Stewardship survey to the world’s
most celebrated and iconic travel destinations and how well they have
weathered the pressures of mass tourism and other threats.
Like the first Destination Rated survey in 2004, Norway’s fjords region has
again taken top honors, with a score of 85 points. Judges noted the gorgeous
scenery and well-preserved rural life that are vigorously protected. Others
making the top “Best Rated Places” category range from Japan’s ancient Kyoto
(#4, 79 points) for honoring the “serenity and charm of ancient Japan” to
Slovenia, formerly part of communist Yugoslavia, tied at #5 (78 points) for
being among the most sustainable and authentic places to visit in Europe.
The United Kingdom is the country with the most winners in this year’s top
category: England’s Yorkshire Dales, Scotland’s Highlands, and Wales.
A total of 133 destinations were surveyed by a panel of 437 well-traveled
experts in a variety of fields related to sustainable tourism. The survey is
the cover story of the November-December 2009 issue of National Geographic
Traveler magazine, on newsstands …
