WTM Partners with British Travel Awards

Thursday, 09/10/2008

World Travel Market has again agreed to be an official partner of the British Travel Awards. Previously held on the night of the last Thursday of WTM, the awards ceremony will be staged a week earlier this year on November 6.

“WTM is a four day b2b event with a diverse range of destinations and industry sectors on show, and the British Travel Awards, with its established reputation as the largest independent awards ceremony for the industry in the UK, is an appropriate partner,” WTM chairman Fiona Jeffery said.

British Travel Awards’ CEO Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “Whilst the awards gathers the views and opinions of a wide cross section of traveling consumers in the UK during the months leading up to 6th November, on the night of the event it’s all about networking and business to business interaction.
