Wildwoods Named Among TripAdvisor’s Destinations on the Rise



Great news to end 2011 on, as we look ahead to another great year in the Wildwoods...


PRESS RELEASE

The Wildwoods have received their first major honor of 2012 as they were named one of TripAdvisor’s® “15 Destinations on the Rise.”

According TripAdvisor’s® website, the seaside destination was included on the list because “The Wildwoods and its beach and boardwalk are where city denizens from Philadelphia and New York have escaped to for decades. Soak it all in... the '50s-style theme motels, the fried food palaces, the Doo Wop tours that recall the many rock 'n' roll stars who performed here.”

TripAdvisor® goes on to say that the Wildwoods are “a trip back in time to a more optimistic age.”
