New7Wonders of the World
campaign started in 2000 to choose new Wonders of the World / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New7Wonders of the World (2000–2007) was an idea to choose new Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments.[1] The popularity poll was led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation in Zürich, Switzerland. Winners were announced on 7 July 2007 in Lisbon.[2][3]
The foundation took only private donations and the sale of broadcast advertising. It had no public funding or taxpayers' money. After the final announcement, New7Wonders said it did not make money and barely recovered its investment.[4]
The seven wonders of the world can be seen on various Celebrity Cruises itineraries.
