Istanbul has emerged as the top destination in a ranking that serves as a barometer of the most popular travel hotspots trending around the world in 2014.
The largest city in Turkey has pulled off an impressive feat in the sixth edition of TripAdvisor?s Travelers? Choice Destinations 2014 report, leapfrogging 11 places from last year and knocking Paris off its perch.
In fact, not only did Paris lose its standing as the top travel destination this year, but the City of Light fell a punishing six spots to seventh position after a year of bad publicity. Last year, an incident in which a group of Chinese tourists were robbed right after landing in Paris received international media attention, spurring the city to boost security measures and distribute etiquette manuals to restaurateurs, taxi drivers and sales staff in an effort to shed their ?rude? image.
Another big mover this year is Beijing, which moved up 17 positions to catapult its way into fourth spot. The jump is part of a larger trend among TripAdvisor users, who gave six of the top 25 spots to Asian cities.
Hanoi, Vietnam likewise made a noteworthy entry, debuting in eighth position.
