With a Borda count, each person assigns points to their top choice, second choice, and third choice (3 points for first, 2 points for second, and 1 point for third). Adding up the points for each destination, we get:
Ireland: 7 points
Italy: 5 points
Greece: 8 points
Therefore, there is no single winner with a Borda count, as Greece has the most points but not a majority.
