  • Conde-Nast: Charleston, SC is top travel destination in US

    In a poll, readers of Conde-Nast, a leading travel magazine, have named Charleston, SC as the top travel destination in the US, and number 2 in the world, behind Florence, Italy:

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...no-2-in-world/

    Since a large proportion of the magazine's readers are Americans, I would question the world-wide ranking, but the US ranking is interesting. Conde-Nast readers also tend to be more sophisticated travelers, and their preferences may not hold true for less sophisticated travelers.

    I remember that RCI employee Bootleg, who used to post on several TS websites told us that Charleston had one of the highest excesses of demand over supply in the entire RCI system, so timeshare experience would seem to bear out this Conde-Nast result.

                    24. Nashville
                    25. Miami
                    This is a lot more realistic than Charleston being first.

                    Here is another list of the top tourist destinations in the US and NYC is first and the Las Vegas strip is second.

                        Phoenix and Palm Springs seem like they should be lower on a list of summer destinations to me.
