After being named Australasia's top destination in the World Travel Awards, tourism experts are praising the implementation of the Auckland Super City.

Auckland beat Sydney, Bora Bora, the Witsunday Islands and Fiji's Yasawa group.

It now goes forward to the grand final in New Delhi in December.

Geoff Dickson of the Tourism Research Institute says some of the credit should go to the creation of the Auckland Super City.

Professor Dickson says these sorts of awards typically come after years of work, and there's probably a generation of planners and strategists who should take some sort of credit.
