Lonely Planet’s Top 10 Countries To Visit For 2015
Global travel authority Lonely Planet has chosen Singapore as the world’s number-one country for Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2015.
The magazine said one of the main reasons for choosing Singapore as their number-one country in their top 10 countries to visit was due to the fact that the country will be celebrating her 50th anniversary as an independent nation in 2015, alongside the cuisine and numerous world class places of interest. Singapore along with the Philippines are the only two Asian countries on the list.
Ms Lynette Pang, Assistant Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) welcomed the accolade, saying, “We are humbled by this tremendous result, and honoured by the recognition of Singapore’s efforts not just in tourism, but also in heritage conservation, greenery, dining, arts, and many other areas. This accolade bears testament to the wide variety of high-quality experiences that Singapore offers, and will serve as motivation for us to continue delivering innovative tourism concepts that can further elevate the Singapore experience.”
