The Milford Sound and Queenstown have taken first and second place in the World’s Top 100 Destinations Poll taken by travel website TripAdviser.com.
TripAdvisor’s Destinations Awards represent the opinions of millions of travelers. The winners were determined by a combination of TripAdvisor’s travelers’ favorite places and overall popularity on TripAdvisor.
“Whether it’s for their unique beauty, or abundance of attractions, the 2008 Travelers’ Choice Destinations Awards honor the most beloved destinations from around the world,” said Michele Perry, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor. “Determined by millions of travelers, the Travelers’ Choice Destinations Awards are unique because they single out not just popular places but truly exceptional places that enthrall travelers and keep them coming back.”

If you love the “natural” look then you’ll love New Zealand. I spend most of my time in the South Island which is paradise on earth. Awesome place!
