The best for groups recognised
The Group Leisure & Travel Awards asks group organisers to vote for what they think is best across numerous categories including Best UK Attraction, Best Museum or Gallery, and Best Group Tour Operator. Every year, since 1997, the initiative continues to recognise attractions, experiences, operators, hotels and suppliers from across the travel trade.
Plus, two award categories shine a spotlight on the people making a difference.
Rewarding special people who bring groups together for amazing experiences, the Group Travel Organiser of the Year Award® has a first prize of £2,000 for the winning GTO to spend on a fantastic holiday.
The Excellence Award is for an individual’s service to group travel organisers and is an accolade for those in the travel trade who go the extra mile to support GTOs with their trips and holidays.
Voting, entries and nominations for the 2023 awards will open in the spring.
The 2023 Awards Dinner and Ceremony will take place on Wednesday 4th October at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Milton Keynes, which is the night prior to the Group Leisure & Travel Show. Ticket information for the ceremony can be found by clicking here.
