About the methodology of Travel + Leisure, World’s Best Awards 2009
A questionnaire developed by the editors of Travel + Leisure, in association with Harris Interactive, an independent research firm, was made available to Travel + Leisure readers at tlworldsbest.com from January 15, 2009, to March 29, 2009. In the February and March 2009 issues of Travel + Leisure, readers were invited to participate. A select group of readers also received invitations via e-mail. Respondents were permitted to complete the survey only once. To protect the integrity of the data, after March 29, 2009, respondents were screened by Travel + Leisure and responses from any identified travel-industry professionals who completed the survey were eliminated from the final tally by Harris Interactive. Only candidates that received a required minimum number of responses were eligible for inclusion. Tlworldsbest.com was maintained, monitored, and kept secure by Travel + Leisure, while the survey website, where respondents were redirected, was maintained by Harris Interactive, which collected and tabulated the responses and kept them confidential.
