Let's be fair here, in a field of no real tourist attractions, the competition isn't great, is it?

how can a partially complete sinking housing estate/construction site be the top tourist attraction?

Hmm. And natural attractions like Hatta Pools or the Creek mangroves probably weren't even voting categories......

Hardly a UNESCO site, the Palm, is it???

What a complete load of crap!

The amount of pampas grass we have planted in our garden and we didn't even get a mention. What a let down.

Did it occur to you that this was the reason. Tourists want to see just how much the palm has sunk....lol

Next everyone will be lining up to see just how much the Burj Dxb is leaning!

Interesting thought - how do you define a visitor "attraction"?

Surely you have to be able to.... er.... see it???

The only time I have "seen" the Palm was as my plane came in to land.....

"Mum!! Dad!! Now that we've 'seen' the best bit, can we go somewhere else???"

"No, son, we haven't even landed yet....."

:huh:
