Incredible India has been voted as the favourite country to travel to by readers of Conde Nast Traveller, a major travel magazine, during its 10th annual awards that honour the most popular destinations at home and around the world. The 2007 Cond`E9 Nast Traveller Readers' Travel Awards honour the best in the world: hotels, airlines, islands, tour operators, spas, cruise lines, cities, countries. In the UK, London has been voted the best city for its restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. India scored above 89 in all ten criteria, with its best features being culture (scoring 97.17 out of 100), value for money (94.78) and variety of attractions (96.30). The country's popularity ensures a spot in The World's Top 100 list too where it sits at number four. Last year's favourite country, Italy, is still hugely popular, voted as having the best food and climate in the world. Said Sarah Miller, editor of Conde Nast Traveller: "I'm delighted that India scored so well in our Readers' Travel Awards. To achieve the accolade of our discerning readers' favourite country in the world is fantastic. "As it celebrates 60 years of Independence — a real achievement — it shows India's moment has come. The world's largest democracy is living up to the dreams of 1947." The top five destination countries are: India, Italy, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand scored highly for scenery and Italy has the best food and climate in the world, while Thailand was singled out for its friendliness. — IANS
