Launched in 2012 by BTA Magazine, the awards recognise excellence in the African business travel trade. The criteria for the awards include all aspects of business travel such as hotels, airlines, car rental and travel management. They also encompass related categories such as travel credit providers, foreign exchange, visas, private aviation and conferencing.
Dylan Rogers, editor of Business Traveller Africa magazine said this year’s voting survey went out to over 1,700 ASATA-registered travel agents and 500 ABTA-registered corporate travel buyers. The response was massive, with over 2,000 industry professionals nominating the best in the business.
