The World’s Most Romantic Cities
NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 31, 2018 -- Resonance Consultancy, leading global advisors in real estate, tourism, and economic development for countries, cities and communities, is pleased to announce the 2018 World’s Most Romantic Cities, a ranking of the 10 best-performing cities across the categories of Culture, Dining and Shopping, Landmarks, and Hotels Recommended by Locals and Visitors.
The firm’s World’s Best Cities ranking is the most comprehensive city ranking on the planet, based on an entirely original methodology that uses the opinions of the people who matter most: visitors and residents. The world’s most romantic cities is a subset of Resonance Consultancy’s 2018 global city ranking.
Resonance Consultancy’s World’s Best Cities ranking analyzes and compares 23 factors in six key categories using a combination of core statistics and online ratings and reviews—from TripAdvisor reviews, Facebook check-ins, Google searches and Google Trends. This helps cities understand their strengths and weaknesses through the lens of the people who visit and live in each city.
“With the ubiquity of Valentine’s Day—and related travel and tourism activity—around the world, we wanted to quantify the most romantic cities on Earth, and highlight their attributes,” says Resonance President and CEO Chris Fair. “We create place-branding strategies, tourism and economic development plans and trend reports for city, tourism and economic development organizations every day. It’s fascinating to use our exclusive global insights to match cities with the cultural zeitgeist like this.”
