WILLIAMSBURG- Travel+Leisure magazine recently announced results of its 26th Annual World’s Best Awards for 2021, which ranks top travel destinations and companies in the United States and around the world. Williamsburg, VA made the list, coming in at #9 on the list of Top U.S. Cities.

Also included in the top 10 are Charleston, SC; Santa Fe, NM; Savannah, GA; New Orleans, LA; New York City, NY; San Antonio, TX; Chicago, IL; Bend, OR; and Honolulu, HI.

Voting for this year’s World’s Best Awards survey took place from January 11 through May 10. Readers rated cities based on their sights and landmarks, culture, cuisine, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. Williamsburg made the list due in part to the Historic Area and other attractions.

“A recognition like this speaks to the world-class caliber of the region’s activities, attractions, food, drink, shopping, and more,” said Victoria Cimino, CEO of Visit Williamsburg, which is affiliated with the Williamsburg Tourism Council.  “Amidst the most extreme challenges ever faced by the hospitality industry, the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2021 are the authority for trip planning and advice as leisure travel continues to rebound. Visit Williamsburg is committed to promoting the region through its award-winning marketing efforts; this honor confirms increased awareness for the destination and all that it has to offer.”

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.

So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.

The Peninsula Chronicle reports on business news on the Virginia Peninsula, from Williamsburg to Newport News and Hampton.
