Travel + Leisure Editor in Chief Nancy Novogrod said, "Even
after 17 years, the opportunity to see what travel experiences resonate with our readers still intrigues and delights
me. While some passions change over time, the allure of the exotic and the new remains as strong as ever, as
does the attraction to trips that provide distinctive and long lasting memories. Along with great service, our readers
crave adventure and the outdoors, reflected in their selection of this year s top three resorts in the Continental
U.S., all located in Colorado mountain towns. And, this year, we re introducing our World s Best Awards Hall of Fame,
celebrating the winners who have been recognized for the last ten years or more of the survey—congratulations to all
97 of you!"[1]
