Brazil Wins World's Best Blue Sky Title
It might not be home to the World Cup holders any more, but Brazil has everything else: beaches, beauty, bars, buzz … and now, blue skies. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s most famous city, has been awarded the ultimate accolade of World’s Best Blue Sky.
Expedia.co.uk’s World Best Blue Sky Report was compiled after 20 of the world’s most celebrated sky-scapes were pitted against each other in this ground-breaking study. Published today, it is the most comprehensive consumer guide to the World’s Best Blue Skies educating holidaymakers on where is best to get the holiday feeling and bask under bluer skies this summer.
In April 2006, Expedia.co.uk’s Blue Sky Explorer, Anya Hohnbaum, set off on her 64,000 mile, 72 day mission, visiting 20 destinations in 20 countries and hopping on and off 56 planes, in a quest to find the World’s Best Blue Sky. Each sky-scape that she visited was subjected to a series of tests to ensure that they were fairly and independently judged against one another in one of the first research projects of its kind.
Anya Hohnbaum, Expedia.co.uk’s Blue Sky Explorer on her return back to the UK said,
"You would have thought blue skies are all the same, but since I started the project I have been amazed at the differences. During my trip, I have been on fishing boats one day and in climbing boots at the foot of a glacier the next. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks to everyone who followed my progress along the way and I can’t wait to share the winner of World’s Best Blue Sky very soon!"
