New Zealand has snatched second spot on the list of CNN’s top 9 destinations for 2011.

CNN said New Zealand would be even more exciting in 2011 with the Rugby World Cup taking place.

Wellington got a special mention as a “great kind of springboard” to the rest of the country, and for its “thriving film industry”.

New Zealand’s luxury lodges were also singled out as a reason why New Zealand was a top destination.

CNN compiled the list with the help of travel experts Robert Reid, US travel editor for Lonely Planet, Pauline Frommer, creator of Pauline Frommer’s guidebooks, and Martin Rapp, senior vice president of leisure sales at Altour.
