Date announced for Travel Brit Awards

The fifth annual Travel Brit Awards for travel agents selling domestic holidays is to take place on June 24.

The ceremony will be held at Warner Leisure Hotels’ Thoresby Hall Hotel in Nottinghamshire.

The evening, under the theme of ‘A British Affair’ will consist of a dinner followed by the awards ceremony.

Guests will be invited to celebrate the British theme with a red, white and blue dress code.

The awards will be preceded by an afternoon of activities that will enable travel agents to broaden their knowledge of the domestic industry and key sponsors.

This year’s main sponsors include Bourne Leisure, Shearings Holidays, Superbreak, Hoseasons Group, Great Rail Journeys, Preston Holidays, Visit England and Abta.

Abta’s UK tourism and leisure committee chairman Caroline Brown said: “With the Diamond Jubilee in June and the Olympics and Paralympics in the summer, 2012 is set to be a special year for the UK.

“We are looking forward to celebrating and recognising retailers who support the domestic market at the awards.

“The event also offers an opportunity for agents to learn more about the UK and the wide range of commissionable product on offer to their customers.”
