Condé Nast showers love on Greater Victoria
As The Chamber steps up our advocacy to improve social and business conditions in Greater Victoria, a recent poll reminds us of what we have to lose.
Our region is a world gem, and, once again, has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as the Best Small City on the planet. The travel magazine’s 38th annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey attracted 757,109 votes.
Greater Victoria topped the list of small international cities for the third year in a row.
Highlights of our region were our proximity to Vancouver — and the ferry ride to get here — as well as the iconic Fairmont Empress and our accessibility to ancient forests.
The magazine’s survey also ranked the Oak Bay Beach Hotel and the Fairmont Empress as the top two hotels in Western Canada.
A sister publication, Condé Nast Traveller from the UK, announced its own Readers’ Choice Award, with the Magnolia Hotel & Spa ranking as the top hotel in Canada as judged by its readers.
