Wheels are now in motion for the 2016 Group Leisure Awards, which recognise the best providers, attractions and destinations for groups, as voted for by you - and there’s a brand new category, too.
Some of the biggest names in travel have once again backed the awards by becoming official partners and include the likes of Thomas Cook, Travelsphere, Planet Hollywood and The London Bridge Experience & Tombs.
Voting will open in the spring and culminate in another huge evening of entertainment and glamour at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on the 19th October.
An awards first for the groups market
A brand new category has been added for 2016. The first ever Best Christmas Experience award will be presented to acknowledge the importance of the festive period in group travel.
A few partnership opportunities are still available for the awards, offering months of high profile marketing, a table at the dinner, and the chance to present the award itself for those involved.
