However, if you were to compare it to just cities within Asia, we’re number one.

Yes, guys, we’ve triumphed over cities like Tokyo (18th) and Hong Kong (24th).

In Southeast Asia, Hanoi (37th) and Bangkok (43rd) were the other two cities to make it to the list.

Which is really amazing, when you consider that we’re competing against the city of Dubrovnik
