DARWIN - 9 January 2012: Darwin held its spot in the 2011 Australian top 20 destinations list compiled by leading accommodation website Wotif.com.

The list is based on more than 250,000 bookings per month by Wotif.com customers in 2011.

General Manager Wotif Brands Megan Magill said all Northern Territory destinations managed to retain their places in 2011, with no changes from 2010.

"There was no change to the top five booked destinations in the Northern Territory in 2011 compared to the year before," Ms Magill said.

"It's been a challenging year for the tourism trade in the Northern Territory.

"This result is a testament to the tourism operators in the region who've worked hard over the past 12 months to maintain their position in the market," she said.

Queensland continued to be the most represented state, with eight destinations in the top 20.

The Northern Territory's complete top five destinations in 2011 were:
