For almost three decades you’ve participated in our annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey, sharing your wisdom and discoveries from around the

world: the hotel that inspired your latest home renovation; the city that best exemplifies the complexities and nuances of Baroque architecture; and the airline seat you could have stayed in for another 12 hours. But this year the numbers were staggering. More than 300,000 of you—nearly twice as many as last year—submitted millions of ratings and 75,000 comments. Your responses are the most powerful measure of what’s happening in the industry. Because of how and where you’re traveling, we’re seeing trends shift in real time: European cities that have long topped the list were outranked by Asian cities. Airlines like ANA now have more U.S. flights into Tokyo’s Haneda Airport than ever before. So we hear you. And you can bet the industry does too. For more results, turn the page.
