In

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."
