Registration for 2019 BTAs extended

British Travel Awards organisers have extended the date for companies to get nominations in for this year’s event, until the end of this week.

BTA CEO Lorraine Barnes Burton said: "Apparently two bank holiday weekends and half term in May have caused a bit of disruption for some companies and I’ve received requests for an extension, so they can catch up and get their nominations filed.

"We’ve got a category for everyone from airlines, cruise lines, tour ops by destination/experience, independents, forex, travel insurance, review sites and everything in between!

"There are no lengthy submissions or criteria forms to fill in – we provide you with the marketing links you need to encourage your own customers to vote for you and the winners are decided based purely on the number of votes they achieve.

"Companies can enter as a small, medium or large sized business so entrants are only ever up against similar-sized companies within the chosen category.

Travel companies now have until Friday 7 June to register for one of the 83 awards covering six broad travel industry sectors.

This year, five new awards have been added to the list: Best No-fly Cruise Line, Best Holiday Transfer Company, Best UK Holiday Parks & Lodges Company, Best Assisted/Accessible Holiday Company and Best UK Family Holiday Company.

Awards for Best UK Airport and Best Holiday Company to North Africa have been reinstated.

The winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner in London on Wednesday November 27.
