FROM THE EDITOR
Over the past three months, we’ve been asking you to nominate your favourites in the world of food, drink and travel – and boy, did you deliver! From the basis of thousands of entries, we have compiled the shortlist for our 2017 Reader Awards, which you’ll find both here and on our website, foodandtravel.com. Now it’s the final voting round to decide who will be the winners. Simply go online and choose your favourites from the shortlisted candidates, and those with the greatest number of votes on the closing date will be crowned the winners at our presentation ceremony in September. So whether it’s the tour operator that’s given you the experience of a lifetime, a hotel that’s gone the extra mile to make your stay special, or an unforgettable meal from that exciting new restaurant, visit foodandtravel.com now and get voting – because it’s you who decides their fate.
