South Africa, Cape Town voted top spots in Telegraph Travel Awards
The Telegraph Travel Awards, voted for by more than 75 000 people, has named South Africa third best country to visit and Cape Town the best city.
Every year, the Telegraph newspaper in the United Kingdom asks its readers to vote for some of their holiday spots. More than 75 000 readers voted this year and the results are in.
The Telegraph Travel Awards are considered to be the ” most comprehensive, wide-ranging and reliable travel survey in Britain”.
It probably isn’t too much of a surprise that South Africa came in as the third best country to visit, what with all the South Africans living there and all. We jest, of course. South Africa was beaten by Maldives in second and New Zealand in first place as the best country to visit.
Cape Town was named the best city for the fourth consecutive year, pipping Vancouver and Venice as the best city for Brits to visit.
And how might the reams of visitors be getting to South Africa? Well, Emirates was named best long-haul airline, beating last year’s winner Singapore Airlines to the top spot.
You can see all the winners from all categories on the Telegraph’s website.
