NEW YORK, December 4, 2012 - Logo's NewNowNext.com today announced the winners of its fourth annual travel awards. The newly-named "NewNowNext Traveler's Choice" honors the best of the most stylish, most exciting and hottest destinations and travel services of tomorrow. Staying on the pulse of tomorrow's trends today, several new categories were added to this year's list including "Bossest Beach" and "Critical Event."

Always in the know, fans have picked their favorites, including: Royal Phoenix (Montreal) as the "Sexiest Gay Bar," Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts as their favorite "Indulgent Hotel Chain" and Virgin America as their favorite "High Flying Airline."

Joining the panel this year were noted travel editors and writers from Condé Nast Traveler, Condé Nast Traveller UK, Sherman's Travel, Lonely Planet, New York magazine, Travel & Leisure, Out, The Advocate, Fodor's, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Robb Report and Harper's Bazaar Australia.

However, it was the fans of NewNowNext who determined which nominees deserved the title of "NewNowNext Traveler's Choice." Travel enthusiasts voted for their favorites on NewNowNext.com.
