Frommer’s Travel Guide, one of the best-selling travel guides in the world with more than 75 million books sold, recently named the Florida Panhandle beaches as one of its top 12 travel destinations for 2010. Northwest Florida has been suggested for inclusion in the list of top destination choices in the past, but this was the first year it made the final cut, said David Lytle, editorial director of frommers.com.
“It fit our list for the year,” Lytle said. “It’s an American destination; part of it is overlooked oftentimes. It’s got some economical choices. A family can still afford to take a vacation to the Florida Panhandle. “It’s a gorgeous part of the country,” he added. “People tend to think of Florida, and they either think of the theme parks or they think of southern Florida. We want to give another part of the state its due as well.”
Along with the Florida Panhandle, this year’s list included…
- Tunisia
- Copenhagen, Denmark
- Hanoi, Vietnam
- Santiago de Cuba, Cuba
- Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- Big Island – Hawaii
- Salta Province, Argentina
- Isles of Scilly, England
- Mexico City, Mexico
- Melbourne, Australia
- Kerala, India
