Shortlist announced for National Geographic Traveller Reader Awards

The shortlist has been announced for the third annual National Geographic Traveller (UK) Reader Awards 2017, in association with Qatar Tourism Authority. The 2017 awards has seen categories revamped this year to cover a broader range of experience and to reflect what’s new in the travel industry.

Readers voted for their favourite destination, airline, tour operator and more, with the winners set to be announced during a ceremony at London’s The May Fair Hotel on 27 November and in the Jan/Feb 2018 issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK).

Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller, said: “For our third annual Reader Awards we revamped the categories to better reflect our readers’ views, and we’re very pleased with the range and variety of responses we received. From some of the world’s best-loved destinations and brands to some of the attractions that really should be on everyone’s radar, this shortlist is indicative of the best in travel.

“The results will be announced in just over a month but at this stage I’d like to offer a huge congratulations to all the finalists for being so highly thought of by our readers.”
