The survey invites participants to rank their favorite cities, islands, hotels, resorts, airlines, car rental agencies, and cruise lines. The questionnaire is available to all readers through a secure Web site. Fans rate each candidate in their respective areas based on a five-point scale: excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor. All scores are averaged to determine a candidate’s final score for each criterion. Global Market Insite, Inc., of Boston tabulated the final results of the 25,916 responses.
