About

To develop the ranking, we settled on three factors; these are:

– Value for money
– Visitor numbers
– City friendliness

For value for money, we decided to use a shopping ‘bucket’ – made up of the cost of a pair of Nike shoes, a pair of Levi’s jeans and a trip on public transport.

For visitor numbers, we sourced annual tourist numbers for each city.

And for friendliness, we sourced data for a tourist friendliness rating attributed to each country the cities are in.
