The shortlist of entries for these categories have been selected and are being considered by the BTA Academy, made up of panels including travel industry pundits, professionals and experts in all areas of travel.
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.
