newest Wonders of the World

Recently, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced its list of World Heritage Site (also known as Wonders of the World) for 2013. In its 37th annual session at Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, UNESCO added 19 new sites to the World Heritage list, a top honor for monuments, buildings, sites or natural features of "Outstanding Universal Value". Over a period of 2 year, UNESCO wilts through a tentative list of 1575 sites from 172 countries to a manageable 40-50 nomination list. Each submitted site should have an outstanding universal value and must meet at least one of 10 selection criteria categorized under Cultural and Natural. The selected sites gets guidance and financial support from UNESCO for its preservation. This year 34 sites were short-listed for consideration and 19 sites were added to the world heritage list in June 13. Our own Jaipur forts has found a place among the 19 and let us hope Indian politicians take advantage of this recognition to preserve the monument and promote tourism.
