Cast your vote and be in with a chance to win
Fancy winning a fabulous prize from a £25,000 pot of getaway giveaways? Cast a vote in the UK’s 2022 holiday “Oscars” and you’re in with a chance.
The British Travel Awards (BTAs) are back after a pandemic hiatus in 2021, and the online public ballot for what are regarded as the nation’s gold standard travel trade accolades goes live tomorrow and runs until October 2.
This is your opportunity to honour your favourite holiday brands as the benchmark awards recognise all that is great about travel – as experienced by you, the travelling consumer.
For 2022, and also taking in last year, there are 67 BTA categories covering products and services experienced by customers when planning, booking and going on their getaways.
Don’t worry if 67 sounds too much! You don’t have to vote in every category – dip in and out for as many or as few as you want, up to October 2.
To thank you for taking the time to join in the biggest consumer-voted programme in the UK, everyone who submits a vote is entered into a draw to win one of a bonanza of travel prizes, with a pot worth around £25,000 up for grabs.
Among those is a luxury seven-night Rhine or Danube voyage for two people with nicko Cruises, to the value of £5,000.
The prize is courtesy of Light Blue Travel (lightbluetravel.co.uk) and includes flights from London, meals, transfers, wi-fi, unlimited classic drinks, gratuities and selected shore excursions, with certain blackout dates.
We’ll be highlighting more prizes on these pages throughout the voting period.
BTAs’ Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “Winning a 2021/22 British Travel Award will be the ultimate accolade, achieved from customer votes relating to their travel experiences during unprecedented disruption in 2021 but hopefully also more settled times in 2022.”
The awards will be handed out at a gala night in London on November 29.
