St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) has been ranked number five in the “World’s Top Destinations for 2012” by Cable News Network (CNN).
SVG is the only Caribbean destination to make the CNN rankings and is described as “a tropical paradise”.
“What’s not to like about a tropical paradise that bills itself as ‘one destination, 32 gorgeous Caribbean islands’?” CNN said.
“Located between St Lucia and Grenada, this island chain has long drawn stars and vacationers with deep pockets, but it will become more accessible to a wider range of travelers thanks to a $240 million airport scheduled to open on St Vincent,” Travel + Leisure reports.
The nine destinations to have made the rankings came from the recommendations of four travel experts: Robert Reid, US travel editor for Lonely Planet; Martin Rapp, senior vice president of Leisure Sales at Altour; Anne Banas, executive editor at Smarter Travel; and Jeanenne Tornatore, senior editor for Orbitz.com. Other suggestions came from Travel + Leisure and Budget Travel.
