For the 20th year in a row the
knowledgeable travelers who subscribe to Conde
Nast Traveler magazine have voted Santa Fe one
of their favorite travel destinations in the
U.S. Santa Fe was selected as the third most
popular travel city in the U.S., after
Charleston and San Francisco, joining a host of
desirable travel towns in the magazine's 2011
Readers' Choice Awards. In the 2010 survey,
Santa Fe was in the third spot as well.
The winners in the magazine's
24th annual poll were announced in a variety of
categories after more than 28,000 reader's voted
for their favorite travel cities, islands,
hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, and
other travel-service providers from around the
world.
"All of Santa Fe can be proud of this
recognition," said Santa Fe Mayor David Coss.
"The annual poll is generated 100 percent by the
magazine's readers, meaning that each of the
city's restaurants, lodgers, retailers,
galleries, performers, attractions, and service
providers have a hand in the award."
Cities were rated on
Atmosphere/Ambience, Culture/Sites,
Friendliness, Lodging,
Restaurants, and Shopping.
Santa Fe has been included as one
of the top U.S. travel destinations by the poll
each year since 1992 when Santa Fe was just a
write-in candidate but received enough votes
from the magazine's readers to be chosen the
number one travel destination in the world.
