Det betyr vestlandsfylkene og Fjord Norge har lykkes i markedsføringen, noterer Odd Roar Lange i sin reiseblogg Toppen av Norge.
CNN har fått tre svært erfarne reiseeksperter til å lage en ni på topp-liste. Her er begrunnelsen:
 For lovers of the outdoors, Norway offers an especially outstanding experience, Martin Rapp said.
Adventurous travelers can go heli-skiing, paragliding and bungee jumping. (Rapp was considering a bungee jump himself during an upcoming summer trip to Norway.) For a more mellow experience, hire a private boat on the fjords and go to little hotels that you canÂt get to by road, or stay at the Amot Opera Farm for an unusual combination of accommodations and music.
 All of Scandinavia is really underestimated. People [usually] go to the major cities, Copenhagen, Stockholm or Oslo, but the countryside is extraordinary. Truly majestic mountains, and the fjords are just unbelievable  they seem endless when youÂre there, Rapp said.
New York rangeres på topp, og New Zealand havnet på andreplass.
