The hugely popular awards – which are free to enter – celebrates the best travel agents in the UK and Ireland, through both regional and nationwide categories. 

Changes this year include updated assessment forms that put an even greater weighting on customer service, and a commitment from TTG to provide every Top 50 winner with a wide suite of social media assets, including video, to better support them in promoting their win on social channels. 

There is also a brand new category: Sustainable Travel Champion of the Year.

The rigorous judging process rewards exceptional customer service and expertise, whilst recognising the extraordinary lengths agents have gone to during the past year.

The awards comprises 25 different categories, highlighting stand-out stores in 12 different regions, plus seven nationwide categories for different kinds of agency business, and five special categories including Community Hero, Customer Service Champion, Contribution to Travel and Sustainable Travel Champion of the Year.

Those shortlisted will join us live for the awards ceremony and after party on Thursday 27 April in Birmingham.

TTG group editor Pippa Jacks said: “With travel agencies across the UK & Ireland proving their worth like never before over the last year, our Top 50 programme will recognise the extraordinary customer service and expertise they have demonstrated, as well as their innovation, resilience and determination. 

“We’re pleased to introduce some changes in this eighth year of the unique process, to support winners even more in shouting about their success and helping them win new business. 

“Our journalist team can’t wait to visit and interview every one of our finalists to hear exactly how they’ve innovated and adapted.”

Registration - which requires only your agency name and contact details - closes on Friday 4 November. After this date, a wide panel of suppliers who work closely with agents will carry out the shortlisting process, by rating all hopeful agencies based on customer service, expertise and performance.
