Wonders of the World

             New Seven Wonders of the World

From left to right, through and through: Chichen Itza, Christ the Redeemer, Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Petra, Taj Mahal, and Colosseum. 

New7Wonders of the World (2000–2007) was an activity began in 2000 to pick Wonders of the World from a choice of 200 existing monuments. The notoriety survey was driven by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and composed by the New7Wonders Foundation situated in Zurich, Switzerland, with victors declared on 7 July 2007 in Lisbon.

The New7Wonders Foundation asserted that more than 100 million votes were thrown through the Internet or by phone. Voting by means of the Internet was constrained to one vote in favor of seven landmarks for every individual/character, however numerous voting was conceivable through telephone.Hence the survey was considered unscientific. According to John Zogby, author and current President/CEO of the Utica, New York-based surveying association Zogby International, New7Wonders Foundation drove "the biggest survey on record". After supporting the New7Wonders Foundation toward the start of the crusade by giving counsel on candidate choice, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), by its standing rules recording all and give break even with status to world legacy locales, removed itself from the endeavor in 2001 and again in 2007.

The New7Wonders Foundation, built up in 2001, depended on private gifts and the offer of communicate rights and got no open financing or citizens' money. After the last declaration, New7Wonders said it didn't procure anything from the practice and scarcely recouped its investment.

Despite the fact that N7W portrays itself as a not-revenue driven association, the organization behind it—the New Open World Corporation (NOWC)— is a business. All authorizing and sponsorship cash is paid to NOWC. 

The establishment has run two ensuing projects: New7Wonders of Nature, the subject of voting until 2011, and New7WondersCities, which ended up in 2014.

Reactions

United Nations
In 2007 the New7Wonders Foundation gotten an organization with the United Nations in acknowledgment of the endeavors to advance the UN's Millennium Development Goals". The UN posted on its website

The New7Wonders battles mean to add to the way toward elevating the prosperity and common regard of natives around the globe, through empowering communication, expression conclusion and direct support by voting and surveying on well known worldwide issues which are justifiable to everybody. 

Be that as it may, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in an official statement on June 20, 2007, reaffirmed that it has no connection with the "private activity". The official statement concluded:[8] 

There is no correlation between Mr. Weber's mediatised crusade and the logical and instructive work coming about because of the engraving of locales on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The rundown of the 8 New Wonders of the World will be the consequence of a private undertaking, reflecting just the conclusions of those with access to the Internet and not the whole world. This activity can't, in any critical and reasonable way, add to the safeguarding of destinations chose by this open. 


Brazil
In Brazil there was a crusade Vote no Cristo (Vote for the Christ) which had the support of privately owned businesses, in particular media communications administrators that quit charging voters to make phone calls and SMS messages to vote. Additionally, driving corporate backers including Banco Bradesco and Rede Globo burned through a large number of reals in the push to have the statue voted into the main seven. Newsweek reports the battle was so unavoidable that:

One morning in June, Rio de Janeiro inhabitants got up to a beeping instant message on their mobile phones: "Press 4916 and vote in favor of Christ. It's free!" a similar pitch had been flying up everywhere throughout the city since late January—moving quickly over an electronic screen each time city-occupants swiped their travel cards on city transports and reverberating on TV infomercials that highlighted a reality-indicate superstar posturing alongside the city's trademark Christ the Redeemer statue. 

As per an article in Newsweek, around 10 million Brazilians had voted in the challenge by early July. This number is assessed as the New7Wonders Foundation never discharged such insights about the battle. A plane message, with a colossal engraving "4916 VOTE FOR CHRIST" flew in Rio de Janeiro for a month. 

Peru
A serious crusade drove by the Peruvian Ministry of Commerce and Tourism in Peru had an incredible effect in the media and thus Peruvian individuals voted greatly for its national ponder. The declaration of the new World Wonders created awesome desire and the race of Machu Picchu was praised across the nation. 

Chile
The Chilean delegate for Easter Island's Moais, Alberto Hotus, said Weber gave him a letter saying that the Moais had completed eighth and were ethically one of the New Seven Wonders. Hotus said he was the main member to get such an apology.

India
A crusade to announce the Taj Mahal in India assembled speed and it achieved a peak in July 2007 with news channels, radio stations, and numerous big names approaching individuals to vote in favor of the Taj Mahal. 

Jordan
Ruler Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan joined the battle to back Petra, Jordan's national treasure.

Mexico
There was a battle on the news projects to urge individuals to vote in favor of Chichen Itzá.
