These ranking are always so odd. Charleston is a great town, but what about Paris, or London, or Barcelona, or Berlin?

How many people outside the US have heard of Charleston or Santa Fe?? They're nice cities, but I'm thinking people don't actually know anything about them. Strange list.

Santa Fe? Really? In that case why isn't Scranton on the list?  |

If people are bewildered by this list they should look at who put it out, Conde Nast. This magazine isn't exactly representative of the average traveler at all. CN specializes in luxury travel, high priced hotels, spas, etc... and all that crap most people don't care about or can't afford. So this list maybe makes sense for 1-3% of the population.
