The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards survey was made available through a secure website. Winners are selected from hundreds of thousands of respondents who submit ratings during the sweepstakes period. The questionnaire contained lists of candidates in various categories, who must receive a required minimum number of responses and a minimum overall rating to be eligible for a Readers’ Choice Award. Candidates were judged on a set of criteria relevant to their category, based on a standard five-point scale converted to a percentage. The average of these ratings determines the final score based on four decimal points, with two decimal points being published.
