“These three diverse countries demonstrate excellence in tourism quality, each with its own gems to share with visitors. The United States was crowned with the Empire State Building. Mexico’s biggest attraction was Chichen Itza, while Canada’s was the iconic CN Tower. These are already some of the world’s greatest landmarks, but it is still important for them to maintain a great quality to continue attracting tourism to each country through online testimonials.”, said Juana Muro, COO of TourReview.
