Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Machu Picchu named
'world's top landmark' by TripAdvisor
There appear to be
numbers of “the World top 10 something lists” shown on the web these days. You
may wonder who choose and rank such things and places to make a list. In the
past, many of such lists were created based of the poll by limited number of experts
of the category, often biased or opinionated. But today, many of such lists are
compiled from much larger number of both intentional voters and non-intentional
data dedicators, meaning web traffic. Instead of counting the tally, computer algorism
makes quantitative and qualitative analysis on certain criteria. Such results
seem to show quite remarkable differences from the simple voting tally.
Tripadvisor is one
of such sites that issues a world’s top list. It claims the world's largest
travel site with over 150 million candid reviews, opinions, and photos of
hotels, restaurants, attractions, and more - all by travelers like you. And
they have just released the world top landmarks and parks.
Enjoy reading and
finding how many of them you’ve been to, are going to or attracted to visit.
