U.S. News Travel released the 2012-2013 editions of several popular Best Vacations ranking lists. These rankings include-for the first time-destinations from Asia, Australia and the Pacific, Central and South America, and Africa and the Middle East.
The top-ranked destinations in three popular categories are listed below:
BEST BEACHES IN THE WORLD BEST EUROPEAN VACATIONS BEST U.S. VACATIONS
1 Bali Barcelona yellowstone
2 Kauai Paris New York City
3 Seychelles Berlin Washington D.C.
The new rankings identify the top vacation spots based on a methodology that combines expert and consumer opinions. They reflect how strongly a destination is recommended by travel experts and U.S. News Travel website users.
"We are pleased to expand our coverage of top travel destinations to a worldwide scale," said Chad Smolinski, Vice President of Rankings and Reviews at U.S. News & World Report. "This expansion allows us to make comparisons between places as geographically disperse as Bali, Corfu, and Rio de Janeiro. For someone planning a major vacation or a honeymoon, this can be important."
This launch is a part of the 2012-2013 U.S. News Best Vacations rankings. In total, more than 200 destinations were considered in the current rankings.
