About four-fifths of the poll participants are U.S. residents, while the rest are spread among some two dozen other countries. Tabulation and data analysis was done with The Survey System, a sophisticated research software program used by hundreds of large corporations and research companies. A few poll question tabulations, such as favorite national park outside the U.S., favorite beach, favorite travel-related Web site, and favorite island, are not shown here as the results involved hundreds of different answers with few or no answers being statistically meaningful. Therefore the answers are not objectively meaningful and are not reported here. Figures are rounded to the nearest whole percent.
Ties shown reflect effective ties in number of raw votes.
Generally either the top 10 or top 5 vote-getters are shown. A number of other cities, Seattle, Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Orlando, and San Diego, were clustered in a group below the top three vote-getters. L.A. narrowly edged out D.C. for the No. 10 spot. London popped back as the No. 1 world city, following a win last year by Paris. Two wonderful Canadian cities, Vancouver and Toronto, followed London and Paris.
