Wanderlust, the luxury travel magazine, has chosen Japan as the world’s top destination for international tourists. The magazine said Tokyo contributed heavily towards the decision with 80,000 of the hotels offering “unbelievable levels of service and comfort”, all located within an eight km radius of the proposed Tokyo 2016 Olympic Stadium.
A Tokyo 2016 press release says in 2008 the city was named one of the world’s top cities for quality of life by Monocle, a noted international lifestyle magazine, and the world’s top culinary destination by Michelin Guide.
Dr. Ichiro Kono, Chair and CEO of Tokyo 2016 said, “everybody in Japan will take pride from this award which has reinforced our desire to welcome the world to Tokyo in 2016 to enjoy the comfort and excitement of our leading hotels, restaurants and attractions which being inspired by the greatest sporting event on earth taking place in the very heart of the city”.
