And a community on the edge of B.C. made the cut.

91裸聊视频淲ildlife tours, forest hiking, and walks along wide sandy beaches reconnect people with nature. Powerful winter storms produce ocean swells, creating epic storm-颅watching opportunities and a thriving cold-water surfing scene.91裸聊视频�

Tofino mayor Dan Law noted the list includes a wide array of internationally famous locations like the Galapagos Islands and Nairobi.

91裸聊视频淔irst of all, Tofino is beautiful because Clayoquot Sound is gorgeous. It91裸聊视频檚 remote, it91裸聊视频檚 wild, whether it91裸聊视频檚 Tofino or Ucluelet or the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. It91裸聊视频檚 just a gorgeous area, so we91裸聊视频檙e working with that,91裸聊视频� Law told the Westerly News.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 fun to get a little recognition and hopefully the whole west coast region gets a little boost from this, recognizing that a lot of the things that make Tofino one of the greatest places are also shared by the entire region. Ucluelet for instance has some fantastic things and we share some of the same draws that people come for.91裸聊视频�

He added the recognition is well deserved and congratulated local stakeholders on their work to boost Tofino91裸聊视频檚 international reputation.

91裸聊视频淥ver the years residents and visitors have just cared about Tofino and the surrounding area and have worked really hard to protect that beauty and people have also worked really hard to try to create an economy, largely based on keeping Tofino a great place to visit and making it a good experience,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淲e have lots of unique and wonderful small businesses and there91裸聊视频檚 great places to stay, whether it91裸聊视频檚 a high end resort or an Airbnb or a campsite on the beach. You can pick your experience and they91裸聊视频檙e all great,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a fun little town that tries really hard and has a lot of good stuff to work with.91裸聊视频�

He added Tofino is in the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations and that local First Nations like Tla-o-qui-aht and Ahousaht have 91裸聊视频減ut a tremendous amount of effort91裸聊视频� into protecting the area.

91裸聊视频淭hey bring all that cultural depth and history into how residents see the place and also how visitors see the place. The importance of that really can91裸聊视频檛 be overstated.91裸聊视频�

He noted Tofino is hardly starving for attention from potential visitors as its reputation is world class and he hopes residents experience the same joy living in the community as visitors do experiencing it.

91裸聊视频淭he thing for me, being on council, is making sure that hospitality industry success and getting on these kinds of lists translates into a good lived experience for residents of Tofino and the area and I mean all residents of all ages. That91裸聊视频檚 the challenge for local government and the local community as a whole really,91裸聊视频� he said.
