Travel + Leisure’s “The World’s Best Awards” began in 1996. Each year, the magazine’s well-traveled readers are asked to fill in questionnaires that rate hotels on rooms/ambiance, service, facilities/activities, location and value. The poll also rates the world’s best cities, islands, tour operators, airlines, car-rental agencies, cruise lines and spas.
