Seemingly, there is no limit to entities that put out lists, much of it self-serving, subjective and so-whatish. But since there are such lists, especially about cities–and many are flattering–then you might as well be on one–or more. Latest up for Tampa: WalletHub’s ranking of the country’s best big-city “staycations.” Tampa comes in third, behind Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, finishing ahead of the likes of Las Vegas, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Honolulu.
And speaking of lists you definitely want to be topping: there’s the maritime industry publication, Lloyd’s List, that ranks ports for its annual North American Awards. Port Tampa Bay, Florida’s biggest in cargo tonnage, just won the Port Operator of the Year award.
