About the methodology of Condé Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards
Every year since 1988, a select sample of Conde Nast Traveler readers have taken the Readers' Choice Survey.  In 2009, the questionnaire was available to all readers through a secure Web site.  The final tabulations of 25,008 responses were done by Mediamark Research, Inc., of New York City.  Poll categories (Cities, Hotels, etc.), and the criteria for each appear at the bottom of the first page in every category.  Questionnaires contained lists of candidates (individual cities, hotels, etc.), and write-ins were allowed.  Only candidates that received a required minimum number of responses were deemed eligible for an award.  Each candidate was rated, by various criterion, on a five-point scale: excellent, very good, good, fair, poor.  Criterion scores, which represent the percentage of respondents rating a candidate excellent or very good, were averaged to determine the final score - e.g., in the category of Islands, Maui's 90.1 is the average of its scores for Activities, Atmosphere/Ambience, Beaches, Friendliness, Lodging, Restaurants, and Scenery.
