San Diego New Year’s Eve CelebrationThe news media loves to pound the San Diego real estate market, but glosses over our healthy economy and the fact that San Diego has become a world class destination (remember Golf’s U.S. Open plays San Diego’s Torrey Pines in 2008?)

For its fourth straight year, Hotwire.com has listed the Top 10 Destinations for New Year’s Eve–and for the first time, San Diego makes that list with the #6 spot, pushing Las Vegas to #9.

Other newcomers to the Top 10 Destinations include Dallas-Fort Worth (#7), Newark (#8) and Toronto (#10). The complete list, with prior year’s ranking in parentheses, is listed below:

1.  Chicago (1)
2.  Orlando (3)
3.  Atlanta (2)
4.  Los Angeles (7)
5.  San Francisco (5)
6.  San Diego
7.  Dallas-Fort Worth
8.  Newark
9.  Las Vegas (6)
10. Toronto

Chicago continues to hold Hotwire’s Number One spot for the fourth year in a row (because so many Chicago expats go home to visit?)

Now wouldn’t it be nice to see new like this make page one of the San Diego Union Tribune, or be a lead story for our local news stations?

And even better, why doesn’t the State of California pat itself on the back for having three of its cities in Hotwire’s Top 10 List?
