I can’t say that I am cheering from the rafters about On the Beach being named Best Online Travel Company.

The British Travel Awards were handed out on Thursday night. Regular readers wil know that one of the interesting elements of these awards is that a number are awarded based on votes by us – the traveller. And this year the organisers say that 117,802 of us voted.

You will remember that in September we urged you to vote in the British Travel Awards.
Why?
Because is the one of the few opportunities that we, as visitors, have of letting the travel trade know what we think is best. Well last night at the Battersea Evolution in London the winners were announced. But in many ways the important thing was the number of you that took the trouble to vote. Over 200,000 of you. That sends a message to the industry that you have strong views on who you think provides the best service. So thanks to all of you from CD-Traveller and the organisers of the Academy for voting.
So who won?

Today is the last day you can vote in the British Travel Awards.
If you haven’t voted yet the please find the time to vote now.
Why?
Because these are one of the few awards where you can make a difference. You and only you decide some of these awards
Secondly, you stand the chance of winning one of the many holidays, cruises or other prizes that are on offer.
And finally, with your vote, even CD-Traveller might win an award!
No forget the last sentence. Vote for the company that you believe has given you the best service or product. It means more to them than the trade telling them they’re good. The companies need you. Without your business they won’t exist so by voting them you send a real message that the service is good and their product is what you want. So click on the voting button in the right of this page.
PS Good luck in the prize draw as well.

For the third year running, CD-Traveller is involved with these awards.
Why?
Because you are the decision-maker in deciding who gets some of these awards. Last year nearly 100,000 of you voted on which company you thought was the best tour operator, cruise company, long haul airline, hotel and a number of other awards. As we have written before, these are one of the few awards where you, the traveller, get to make your thoughts known. Most awards are decided by the people in the trade. You, alone, decide some of these.
So it’s important that you vote.

Last night the winners were announced of the British Travel Awards. CD-Traveller is one of the sponsors because these are the only awards where you, the traveller and holidaymaker, can vote. So it’s not just the travel industry patting itself on the back. And over 100,000 of you voted so our thanks, and those of the organisers, for taking the time to vote.

You may remember that over the last few months we have been asking you to vote for the companies you believed provide the best holidays, flights and so on. All of the votes have been counted and analysed and, altogether, tens of thousands of you voted using the links from either us or Sky Travel, The Sun, Sunday Times and LBC.The organisers announced that this was now the largest consumer vote in any industry in the UK for awards so on behalf of them, can
