| The Winners are announced The waiting is over, as the winners of the Globe Travel Awards have been announced at a glittering awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Park Lane. A record number of votes in both the trade and consumer categories ensured that The Globe Travel Awards recognise and reward the best in the British travel industry. The Globe Travel Awards are quite unique as they are voted for by the travel industry - travel agents vote for their favourite air travel company, cruise and ferry provider, coach and rail company, add-ons and extras, travel recruitment company, technology and on-line provider, accommodation and resorts, tourism and tour operators. Readers of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Evening Standard, Metro and London Lite voted in the Consumer Awards, providing a mandate from both trade and consumer audiences. Consumer categories were Favourite Cruise Company, Favourite Airline, Best Rail Operator, Favourite European Short Break Provider, Best Online Booking Website, Favourite Hotel Chain, Favourite Long Haul Operator and Favourite Package Provider. “ Winning a Globe award is a crucial badge of trust and confidence for the winning companies" commented Travel Weekly Publishing Director Simon Ferguson. "Both travel agents and their customers have spoken, meaning our Globe Travel Award Winners really can claim to be the best in their fields".
