Each year categories are carefully chosen to reflect the range of areas and skills that lie at the heart of a successful travel firm or department. Our independent panel of judges made up primarily of Business Travel Buyers devote a considerable amount of their valuable time, to review and mark each entry in order to identify those worthy of winning one of these highly-valued awards.
