The New7Wonders Cities


Now we have good reasons to visit these cities that have been announced recently as the New7Wonders Cities of the World.
I have not had the chance to visit all of these cities, yet,  but privileged enough to have lived in a couple of them (Qatar and Philippines) and I really vouched for its criteria of winning to have made them considered to be in the roster of 7 wonderful cities that everyone is now going to go gaga about.

The criteria considered to make them win are strengths and/or potential for sustainable growth, in terms of cultural, environmental, economic and tourism potential; historical legacy and/or potential for growing and sustaining a historical legacy in the future.

Other cities that were included in the final 14 were Barcelona, Chicago, London, Mexico City, Perth, Quito and Reykjavik.  I am sure that most adventure seekers and travel savvy people are now planning this early to see one of these cities in the list including the ones in the final 14.  Having visited Australia a couple of times gave me a little bit feel of regret for not stepping my foot in Perth but in glee knowing that London is in the list for an obvious reason, been in that English capital more often than the rest!
Excited already?!
