- We expect the World Cup to push it to the top of the long-haul league table as the best place to be in 2010.
- Alongside more established destinations, including Las Vegas and New York, and beach hotspots Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and the Maldives, some more unusual destinations have also made it on to the top ten list.
- The city and its visitors will see the benefits of greater investment in its plethora of Roman and Byzantine tourist attraction,s which make the cultural center of Turkey so fascinating.
