Kirk Semple presents an interesting outline about Queens contending as No.1 travel destination in the United States entitling: “Tourists Have Landed in Queens. They’re Staying.” The article, despite its witty and charming word choices interspersed throughout the article, it lacks significant and substantial reporting. Reading the article it seems that it is filled with unsupported thoughts. For example, the fifth sentence is an unclear point that strays away from Lonely Planet’s decision to name Queens the No.1. The fifth sentence is needless words that doesn’t provide the “why” but instead inadvertently delays Semple’s abstruse evidence that render Queens as No.1. Based on the headline I expected to hear from Lonely Planet explaining its decision and to hear more extensively from tourists describing Queens specific characteristics that lured them to visit or lodge in Queens. I was expecting to hear about events in the last year that trumped events on Manhattan and other parts of United States.
