feedback of travelers.
"The

especially exciting considering the other destinations that
were named alongside Las Cruces."

and the
Big Island of Hawaii were also selected.
New
Mexico was also represented in the attractions category, earning
awards for Carlsbad
Caverns National Park and the International

2009 and two in 2011. They will likely return again
in 2014.
