* THE ENTRY DEADLINES TO THE 2008 AWARDS HAVE NOW PASSED *
The awards are open to readers who work in the travel agent sector – specifically in shops, call centres and homeworkers. Most of the awards will be given to individual agents, or teams and two of the awards are open to whole agencies: these are the awards for Best Cruise Agency and Best Agency Innovation.
You can either enter yourself or you can nominate someone else. The most important thing is to get nominations in by the deadline – you’ve got to be in it to win it!
If you are a supplier and would like to nominate an agent, please e-mail Angela Hamilton-Jones with the details of the agent you would like to nominate and the reason why. Please make sure you include contact details for the agent. Travel Weekly will then contact the agent directly, tell them they have been nominated and ask them to fill out the entry form. The form still needs to be filled out by the agent because judges need to compare like with like information on each entrant.
Entering is easy; all you need to do is complete the simple application form. You can fill in the form online and email it back to or you can download the pdf version and post or fax it back to Angela Hamilton-Jones at the address below.
