Normally thousands would make this trip each day — now it sits empty. But not
for long (video published April 2022).

The South Island has topped a list of the world’s best places to visit in 2022,
beating out the likes of Paris, Rome and Tokyo.

The ranking, aimed at American readers, was compiled by Washington, D.C-based
publisher U.S. News & World Report, which analysed more than 1100 destinations,
taking into consideration user votes as well as input from experts and their own
editors.

The South Island and its spectacular fiords have been singled out as the world’s
best place to visit.

“New Zealand's South Island brims with majestic landscapes at every turn, from
dramatic mountains to spectacular fiords,” the blurb read.

“Here, you can admire the mountains of Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, from hiking trails or a boat on Milford Sound. At night, journey
to the University of Canterbury's Mount John Observatory to gaze at the starry
skies.

“You can also indulge your inner daredevil in Queenstown (a favourite
destination among bungee jumpers), sample delicious sauvignon blanc wine in the
Marlborough region or explore New Zealand's most accessible glaciers – Franz
Josef and Fox Glacier – on the island's west coast.”

Paris was ranked in second place, followed by the Hawaiian island of Maui, and
the French Polynesian islands of Bora Bora and Tahiti.

London, Rome, Turks & Caicos, Tokyo and the Maldives rounded out the top 10.

Takapō’s Mt John Observatory was also highlighted as a South Island must-do.

“After limited travel opportunities over the past few years, people are once
again excited to vacation and have begun travelling extensively throughout the
US and internationally,” U.S. News managing editor of travel Erin Evans said in
a statement.

“Beaches, national parks and small towns are popular travel destinations this
year, and many top cities are making a comeback.”

It is the second year in a row Te Waipounamu has topped the American publisher’s
list, even though New Zealand was still closed to tourists when last year’s
ranking was released.
