St Helena in Lonely Planet’s Top 10 Destinations in the World
St Helena has been named one of the top ten places in the world for travellers to visit in 2016. After what Tom Hall from Lonely Planet called 14 million years in glorious geographic isolation the island is now being recognised as a great place for tourists.
Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel media company and produces thousands of internationally-recognised guidebooks. This latest award for St Helena is part of their book Best in Travel 2016. The list which St Helena is on includes other destinations such as West Iceland, Transylvania in Romania, Hawaii, and Costa Verde in Brazil.
Enterprise St Helena’s chief executive Niall O’Keeffe said they are delighted with the recognition. The Governor claimed that this underlines how St Helena continues to achieve tremendous success on a global scale with limited resources, and Councillor Lawson Henry paid tribute to everyone in tourism on St Helena.
There will be a formal award ceremony in London on Sunday. It will be attended by Niall O’Keeffe, Kedell Worboys, Chanelle Marais and a representative from the UK Foreign Office.
