Whilst The British Travel Awards in association with Lloyds TSB Cardnet relies on the opinions of consumers and industry professionals to determine the final winners of these important accolades – it all begins with input from the people who work in the UK’s travel industry today.
These are the travel agents and industry professionals who work across all areas of travel.  Their daily experiences and contact with tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, hotels and ferry operators etc. enable them to know who is providing the best information, support, product and service to the UK’s travelling public.  From their feedback we produce a shortlist of some of the best contenders for each of the awards categories.
The British Travel Awards is delighted to be associated with the major names in UK travel and their valuable support will ensure the continued growth of The British Travel Awards.
Our unbiased and independent positioning within the travel industry and the ongoing development of trade awareness and participation has established The British Travel Awards as the number one awards programme for travel in the UK.
