Every year, in the World’s Best Awards survey, Travel + Leisure invites its readers to consider travel experiences around the world – to share their thoughts on luxury hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruises, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 165,000 T+L readers completed the 2023 survey, an increase of nearly 25 percent over pre-pandemic polls.
More than 685,000 votes were cast in more than 8,500 places (hotels, cities, cruises).
Cities were rated primarily on factors such as sights/locations, culture, food, friendliness, shopping, and value.
For each condition, respondents could select a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or below average. The final score is the average of these responses.
This year, India and Japan won the top three cities for reading in the annual “World’s Best Awards” survey for 2023.
