Seven Wonders: One World
After years of preparation, the results of the "New 7 Wonders of the World" competition were unveiled in Lisbon in July 2007. Over 100 million votes were cast worldwide to select seven monuments and buildings from a list of 21 finalists † - † each recognised as having truly global significance. †
The final seven were confirmed as:
- The Great Wall of China.
- Petra, Jordan.
- Chichan Itza, Mexico.
- The Statue of Christ Redeemer, Rio.
- The Colosseum, Italy.
- Machu Picchu, Peru.
- The Taj Mahal, India.
Here at the STC, we are very pleased to say that we can arrange tailor-made holidays and †school trips to see and experience all but one of the of the 21 finalists. Ironically, the only one that escapes us is right on our doorstep - Stonehenge! Still, we're fairly sure our clients are a resourceful lot and won't have a problem getting themselves to Wiltshire if required!
The other 13 finalists were The Acropolis in Athens, The Alhambra Palace, Spain; Angkor Wat, Cambodia; The Moa Statues, Easter Island; The Eiffel Tower, France, Hagia Sophia, Turkey; Kiyomizu Temple, Japan, The Kremlin, Moscow; Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany; The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, The Statue of Liberty, USA; Sydney Opera House, Australia and Timbuktu, Mali.
