The judges’ scores will be scrutinised and discussed by the BTA Academy on October 5 in London.
Proceedings will be supervised and results will be audited by Deloitte LLP – the British Travel Awards’ official voting auditors.
Winners and silver-placed finalists will be announced at the awards Gala night held at Battersea Evolution on the November 5.
