Every year Global Traveler Magazine awards the best in the travel industry based on a survey of frequent travelers.

An additional five categories were added, bringing the total number of voting categories to 60.
The survey was based on a set of open-ended questionnaires, which were available in subscriber copies, online, and through direct mail and email. Only questionnaires with more than fifty percent of the questions answered were considered.
