Lightfoot<\/span>. &#8220;Despite the challenges that COVID-19 has presented, our communities and businesses found innovative ways to strengthen our recovery efforts while still giving residents and visitors access to all our great City has to offer. I want to thank the entire team at Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler and its readers for honoring <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> with this award for yet another year and I look forward to safely welcoming people from near and far as we continue to reopen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler Readers&#8217; Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry. More than 715,000 Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler readers participated in the voting period from April through June, submitting tens of thousands of responses rating their travel experiences to provide a full snapshot of where they travel and what they enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This validates the great momentum and tourism growth we&#8217;ve seen pre-COVID, the authenticity and allure of <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago&#8217;s<\/span> dynamic tourism and hospitality community that is second to none, and Choose Chicago&#8217;s sustained focus on elevating the city&#8217;s value proposition to both business and leisure travelers,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Glenn Eden<\/span>, chair of Choose Chicago&#8217;s Board of Directors. \u00a0&#8220;It also shows that we have a very endearing popularity with this group of seasoned travelers and continue to check all of the boxes for what matters most to them when visiting a big city. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t be more proud of this unprecedented acknowledgement and its\u00a0reassurance that people will continue to come back as the city continues to reopen in a safe and responsible way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The award comes as <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> and the city&#8217;s partners are reimagining what it means to travel and convene. In these unusual times, the trust that visitors place in a destination when they choose to book a trip is the greatest vote of confidence. This year, the voices of Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler&#8217;s readers are more important than ever, because they are a reflection of what they value most out of their travel experiences. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> to be voted as best big city to visit by the savvy and knowledgeable readers of Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler is in itself significant, not to mention the incredible honor of four consecutive years,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">David Whitaker<\/span>, President &amp; CEO of Choose Chicago. &#8220;We have seen these past few months how much people miss traveling, and this recognition simply reinforces how vitally important the connection between travelers and their destinations is and the incredible potential <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> offers. As we welcome visitors back, it is even more important that we welcome them back responsibly; all the while sharing with them the experiences that have resulted in achieving this recognition the past four years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In spite of the challenges 2020 has presented to date, the city and its partners united earlier this year to continue offering visitors a fulfilling experience.
