Is yours an award-winning company?
Registrations for the 2013 British Travel Awards have opened and companies have until April 30 to fill in an online consumer voting registration form for each award they’d like to enter.
The award categories span all types of holidays and this year the cap on the number of awards a company can enter has been lifted.
In addition new awards have been introduced recognising excellent customer service.
BTA chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: "In 2012 over one million votes and opinions were cast by consumers to determine the winners of the British Travel Awards and this year with exciting new consumer facing media campaigns planned to promote the BTAs to consumers – the first step towards winning a coveted BTA is for companies to get registered."
The registration forms along with the category lists and entry criteria can be found on the newly designed BT A website www.britishtravelawards.com
All registered companies will be listed in their elected categories on the consumer voting form and they will be sent marketing tools, including a voting button to use on websites and emails, to help lobby for votes.
