Group Leisure & Travel has officially launched its 2019 reader awards, which are once again backed by some of the biggest names and most recognised brands across the travel and leisure industry.
The most prestigious initiative of its kind in the sector, the awards recognise excellence and the best service in group travel.
Categories include Best Museum or Gallery, Best Coach or Tour Operator - UK Tours, and Best Historic Attraction or Venue.
The prestigious Group Travel Organiser of the Year Award® is set to be a major highlight, as is The Excellence Award, which recognises service to group travel organisers by an individual working in the group travel trade. Voting for this year’s awards will open in the spring.
A new venue will host the 2019 dinner and ceremony which will be held at the Hilton Hotel at Stadium MK, Milton Keynes on 9th October. The Group Leisure & Travel Show will be taking place at the adjacent Marshall Arena at the stadium the following day.
The 2018 Awards took place on Wednesday 10th October, 2018 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. Head here for a reminder of all the winners and finalists were.
