TravelMole Readers’ Choice Awards Announced
The TravelMole Readers’ Choice Awards are launched today to uniquely recognise unsung heros of the travel trade.
Each winter TravelMole runs the Travel & Tourism Web Awards, in which readers nominate user-friendly websites for a panel of distinguished judges to deliver their verdict on.
We now plan to go a stage further, to give readers the chance to deliver awards directly, by voting on matters close to their hearts and which reflect their day-to-day professional experience.
There will be two stages to the voting. Readers will nominate individuals, those with the highest number of nominations being put into shortlists, which will then be voted on again to deliver the final verdict.
Since the nominated individuals are unlikely to be well-known beyond their normal area of operation, TravelMole will profile them so that they are as familiar to its community as Big Brother contestants become to a TV audience.
The awards presentation will be at a central London ceremony to be held in the first half of September.
Categories:
There will be five voter categories:
- Airline staff
- Technology staff
- Travel Agent staff
- Travel Agent Hero (could be a supplier or a ‘guru’ type)
- Tour Operator staff.
In addition there will be a “TravelMole Special Award” to honour a travel trade individual chosen by the TravelMole team.
Six categories in total – five of which are subject exclusively to reader voting. TravelMole will ensure that readers do not register multiple votes.
Timescales and deadlines:
Subject to final confirmation, these will be as follows:
(a) Nominations for shortlists in all categories open late July
(b) Shortlists published mid-August
(d) Voting on shortlists opens late Aug
(e) Voting on shortlists closes early September
(f) Presentation ceremony mid-September.
