Ipswich 'among world's top emerging destinations'

Ipswich has been named among the world's top emerging destinations, according to Tripadvisor - thanks possibly in part to Ed Sheeran.

The review website compiled the list of up-and-coming locations from searches by users - with the Suffolk town the UK's only entry in the top 25. The singer, who has millions of fans worldwide, closed his Divide tour in Ipswich last August to 160,000 people."The awards evaluated data from November 2018 to October 2019, so it's very possible the 'Ed Sheeran effect' was a contributing factor in helping to put Ipswich on the global map," the travel website said.

"A destination that's managed to keep its historical charm intact, Ipswich is a cultural hub of activity," it added. "From strolling through the arboretum at Christchurch Park, taking in a show at the famous Regent Theatre, viewing Constable's art at Christchurch Mansion, it's little wonder travellers are falling in love with Ipswich."The list of emerging destinations - that was compiled for the first time this year - was topped by Kaliningrad in Russia, ahead of Saranda in Albania and the Lebanese capital Beirut. Ipswich came in 14th.

Ive been to Ipswich. 😲💩

uhhh why

By emerging do you mean places nobody has heard of and where there is nothing to do?

Who looks at Ipswich and thinks “ooh, I’d like to go there”

Ironically, I receive this message: 'Sorry, we couldn’t find that page'

Emerging as what - the possible site of the apocalypse, the closest rhyme for Cross stitch?

If you're a Romanian I suppose

Kaliningrad and Ipswich :D

Wuhan in China came 13th. 🤣

Well renowned Beirut and La Paz are in this too. How can you make a list this bad?

As an Ipswichian I'm really not sure why
