Sydney Has Been Voted As The World’s Friendliest City.
Sydney, Australia came tops for friendliness, personal encounters and cultural diversity in a global online survey of over 10,000 adults from 50 cities across 20 major developed and developing countries.
Sydney came second overall behind Paris, beating London, Rome and New York who made up the top five cities.
Despite this, Sydney is struggling to lure visitors during the global downturn, as flights from Britain are hit by the British Government announcing it will double air passenger taxes. One in 10 flights from the UK is expected to disappear within the next twelve months. Already 40 scheduled flights including some to Australia have been dropped in the last twelve months due to falling passenger numbers.
There were further signs of the increasing competition between Sydney and Melbourne for the decreasing tourist dollar. Melbourne beat Sydney in a recent Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2009 Liveability global survey. Melbourne finished third and Sydney came a disappointing ninth.
