Cape Town Voted Best World City

Cape Town has been voted ‘Best World City’ in the 2008 Telegraph Awards. This spectacular destination was voted above major cities like San Francisco and Sydney to walk away with the honours. If that’s not enough South Africa also claimed a place in the top three in the ‘Best Non-European Country’ category.

From the 40 000 people that were used in the poll, 92% said that the credit crunch will have no effect on holiday destination choices. Among the top destination on earth were New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Canada. Alongside Cape Town were San Francisco, Sydney and Vancouver in the top cities category.

Cape Town’s top tourist attractions include Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, the Cape Winelands and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

Cape Town was also recently voted one of ten cities in the world that are most likely to become a global sustainability centre by 2020.

The same awards saw Singapore Airlines, Virgin, Emirates and Qatar Airways walk away with the people’s favourite airlines.
