Thank you, readers of Global Traveler! They voted our fair state “Best Domestic Tourism Destination” for 2010–—and we totally agree! According to the editors, “In the role as best domestic tourism destination, New Mexico definitely delivers.” In fact, it delivered better than Arizona, Hawaii, New York, Louisiana, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Texas (we snatched top spot from AZ, who claimed the title in 2009).
“Our survey is unique from others as our readers have the only say,” said Francis Gallagher, publisher and CEO of the travel magazine written for executive business travelers. “Our yearly awards are sought after, highly respected and an unbiased reflection of the best in travel from those who know.”
The award was accepted by Martin Leger, advertising manager for the Department of Tourism, who stated: “Our great state continues to offer opportunity for new exploration, knowledge and adventure. Diverse cultures have shaped this land, its history and its people. Many choices for fulfilling vacations exist in all parts of the state and these diverse, cultural resources provide a multitude of intriguing possibilities for our visitors.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
