What a wonderful world Hotels.com surveyed people from 24 countries to see what they thought about the ancient and modern Wonders of the World 1 . Here are some of the findings: • 72% recognised The Great Pyramid of Giza, making it the best-known of the seven ancient Wonders. • 67% identified The Hanging Gardens of Babylon as another ancient Wonder, even though it is disputed whether they even existed. Despite this, 5% of the French and Koreans claim to have visited them. • 8% also claimed to have visited the Colossus of Rhodes, which was destroyed by an earthquake more than 2,000 years ago. • More than one in 10 sadly said they had never heard of the Seven Wonders of the World, with 34% of Japanese in the dark. Amongst the British results: • Of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World, the only one that still exists today, the Great Pyramid of Giza, was revealed to have been visited by 21% of those surveyed. • 3% believed that they have visited the statue of Zeus at Olympia, despite the statue being destroyed by Roman Emperor Caligua in the fifth Century, and a further 5% admitted to having visited the Temple of Artemis at Olympia, although it was destroyed by fire in 401 AD. • The survey also revealed the UK landmarks that the British believed should be included in list of the ‘Ancient Seven Wonders of Britain’. These include St Paul’s Cathedral (42%), Edinburgh Castle (39%) and Big Ben (36%). • When asked about the new Seven Wonders of the World, 68% recognised the Great Wall of China, followed by 59% for the Taj Mahal and 44% for the Colosseum in Rome. 1 Details on the new Wonders of the World can be found here: http://www.new7wonders.com/ 58 The Hotel Price Index review of global hotel prices: Jan-Dec 2011
