Best wonders of the world

When we talk about the wonders of the world, it is obvious to think about the Seven Wonders of the World. Basically the Seven Wonders of the World was a project which attempted to update the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; it is now a concept which consists of the modern list of wonders. The popularity pole was conducted by Canadian-Swiss based Bernard Weber, and he started the Swiss-based New Seven Wonders of the World, which is controlled by the government, and the latest announcement of the Seven Wonders were announced in the year 2007 in the city of Lisbon.

According to the New 7 Wonders Foundation, over hundred million votes were cast by internet or telephone, rating their favorite wonder. However many voters provided multiple votes, therefore the pole was considered to be unscientific. According to the CEO of the foundation, the 7 wonders attracted largest poll on record. This program attracted variety of official reactions; some countries touted their citizens to vote for the local landmark to boost their number of votes. Some people even criticized the whole contest. UNESCO initially supported the concept, however later distanced itself from the undertaking in 2007. The New 7 Wonders Foundation therefore had to rely on private donations and the sale of broadcast rights.
