The Friendliest City In The World

The Canadian city, Vancouver, has emerged as the friendliest city by the traveller community.

 

Debates may abound, and often from within, but Vancouver, Canada's coastal seaport city, has topped many a list measuring the affability of city inhabitants to be totally dismissed. The latest comes from the users themselves, that is, the avid travellers who have gained that insightful evidence by having their boots stomp the very ground they voted for. Incidentally, Vancouver is famously reckoned as 'Hollywood North' owing to it being the shooting site for perhaps many of your favourite films, TV shows and web series.

 

What Are The Reasons That Led To Vancouver Be Identified As The Friendliest City?

 

The consensus maintained that the residents of Vancouver were extraordinarily friendly. Nobody is excessively rude. The locals were found to be ready of assistance to tourists with helping them to find an address or a direction. They were also found to be most effectively responsive when it came to suggesting a restaurant either with a local speciality or a certain cuisine. Visitors felt that they were ably guided in their quest for landing up in very happening relevant night spots. Overall the community vibe was felt to be very conducive to facile socialising.

 

 

What Is It That Makes Vancouver A Friendly City?

 

To start with, it is in Canada and Canadians are habitually polite, certainly more than their southern counterparts. It regularly features in the world’s most “livable” cities and ranks decently in the Quality of Living Surveys. It means Vancouverites are happy people. 

 

Happiness is further enhanced by its natural scenic beauty. Long Coastlines –the city is a coastal seaport on the British Columbia mainland with mountains, lakes and all-round greenery keeps the mood forever crispy. They have a downtown area recreation ground, Stanley Park, measuring 1,000 acres, circumscribed by a sea wall.

 

Diversity Is The Key

 

However, the most important factor contributing to the geniality of the inhabitants is its astoundingly multi-ethnic and variably cultured community. As it was, the classical population of this relatively new city — established only in 1886 — comprised nationals from England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany in sizable numbers. Then, over a period of thirty years, immigration, dramatically increased its ethnic and linguistic diversity. Almost 42 percent of the city’s inhabitants can be traced to Asia. In fact, it prides itself as the most Asian city outside Asia'. This only adds to the tolerance factor. The people of Vancouver are not trenchant on ownership and are given to a more relaxed outlook. Precisely, these aids in them banding together to make outsiders feel welcome and safe.
