The results of all award categories are determined solely by the number of consumer votes cast. And, SME’s can shine in the size graded categories - details of size grading can be found on the Award Categories pages. A company’s size is not displayed on the voting form. Voters can only vote for one company/brand in each category. Companies are divided into the size group submitted on their nomination form when the results are analysed.
The BTA has no affiliation with any travel or travel publishing companies. The awards programme is financed by:
