The survey asked respondents to list the three countries they would most like to visit, in rank order. There were 77 different countries listed in all. The twelve countries mentioned most often were the following (#1 is the most often-listed country):

1. England
2. Italy
3. Germany
4. France
5. Australia
6. China
7. Spain
8. Japan

The survey was sent to faculty in all ACA-member institutions, via e-mail. Of the 34 member colleges and universities, 33 had faculty who responded positively to the survey (that is, faculty who said they would be interested in an international faculty development opportunity with other ACA faculty). This seems to indicate a great potential for cross-campus collaboration in this area.
