The Condé Nast Traveller Awards is the tourism industry’s equivalent of the Emmy Awards and if the Mother City could give an acceptance speech, it would go something like this: “Thank you, thank you! I could not have done this without my fantastic residents, my awe-inspiring monuments and my spectacular views. This award really is a testament to how well we live, work and play together and I am proud to be your city, your Mother!”
This latest honour is just one in a long line of achievements. Since 2005, we’ve garnered awards from travel judging panels and travellers, including One of the
World’s Top Twenty-Five Places to Visit by TripAdvisor 2010, One of the World’s Most Beautiful Cities by Forbes.com 2010, Africa’s Leading Destination by World Travel Awards 2010 and last, but by no means least, Favourite Host City of the 2010 FIFA World Cup by our fellow South Africans, our president and visitors.
Our Condé Nast win is based on the opinions of nearly 26 000 readers who evaluated Cape Town on aspects such as atmosphere and ambience, culture and sites, friendliness, lodging, restaurants and shopping.
So, let’s raise a glass of bubbly and applaud ourselves on a job well done. We’ll continue to lap up all the attention coming our way, but we know the real prize still awaits us: being voted the Best City in the World!
