TravelMole Web Awards: shortlist announced
Four of last year’s TravelMole Web Award winners have been nominated once again this year, among more than 300 nominations by TravelMole readers. Many of those organisations were nominated more than 20 times, and the nominations have now been boiled down to a shortlist of four in each of the 12 categories. The winners will be presented with their awards in central London on 22 April, and details of the winners will be published here shortly afterwards. Special thanks are extended to our panel of judges – Liz Craig, of OneGlobe Network; Dr Hilary Murphy of the Lausanne Hotel School; John Lawrence of Worldshoice; and Susie Greenwood, of Greenwood Solutions. We would also like to extend our thanks to you, the readers, for your continuous interest and participation, and also to the sponsors of the awards.
