Mumbai ranks 14th among best tourist cities in Asia

MUMBAI: Mumbai has featured in the 15 ‘Best Cities in Asia’ listing of Travel + Leisure (USA) for the tourists to visit.
Part of world’s best destination awards announced on Tuesday by one of these most influential travel and lifestyle magazines in the world, the Travel+Leisure listing places Mumbai on the 14th rank much after Jaipur (3rd) and Udaipur (5th). Interestingly, Singapore stands on 15th position after Mumbai.
The best cities in Asia, according to Travel + Leisure readers, offer a spirited mix of ancient history, world-class hotels, and delicious cuisine. “Every year for World's Best tourist-friendly city Awards survey, Travel + Leisure asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated cities on their sights and landmarks, culture, cuisine, friendliness, shopping, and overall value,” stated the ranking released online.
Many travellers have been eager to return to their favorite cities in Asia, which have been closed to visitors during the COVID-19 pandemic. So it's no surprise that the recent announcements that Japan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and more are now allowing tourism have come as a welcome relief.
Three cities from Japan (Osaka at No. 4; Tokyo at No. 6; and Kyoto at No.7) have also made to the list this year besides Ubud in Indonesia, Chiang Mai in Thailand, Siem Reap in Combodia, Hoi An in Vietnam, Luang Prabang in Laos, Taipei in Taiwan, Singapore, Seoul, and Bangkok.
