Cond茅 Nast Traveler ranked small cities based on responses from over 575,000 U.S. readers. Using a standard five-point scale, nominated cities were judged on a set of criteria, and the average of these ratings determined final scores.

Victoria's score trumped those of other major tourist destinations, including San Miguel de Allende, Florence and Salzburg.

The infrastructure that supports Victoria's visitors has also been recognized. For example, Cond茅 Nast named the Magnolia Hotel and Spa the eigth best hotel in Western Canada, and the Brentwood Bay Resort and Spa was named ninth best resort in the country.

Other Island destinations have been recognized, including the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino, which clinched the best resort in the U.S. and Canada award.
