Nominations open for British Travel Awards
Nominations are now open for the British Travel Awards 2015, with a deadline of May 31.
Tour operators, travel retailers, companies providing leisure travel services and UK tourism stakeholders are invited to apply for awards category listing on this year’s consumer voting form.
There are 79 categories covering a range of holiday experiences and leisure travel services.
This year, for the first time, companies will be able to lobby for votes direct from their websites, with a click-through straight to the category they’re listed in.
"Every year some disgruntled travel industry person asks me why their company wasn’t in the running for a British Travel Award. The answer is usually because nobody bothered to make the nomination," said BTA chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton.
"Don’t think someone else is doing it, make the nomination and expose your brand to the voting public – last year more than 1.2 million votes and opinions were cast by UK households."
The 2015 British Travel Awards will take place in London on Wednesday November 25.
