UK: The entry period for the fourth annual Serviced Apartment Awards – complete with two new categories – is open until January 31st 2019.
For 2019 we have introduced two new categories to reflect the importance of business travel and relocation to the serviced apartment sector – they are Best Travel Management Company and Best Agent or Relocation Management Company. These join the Travel Buyer of the Year award which was introduced last year.
Once again, two of the awards – Rising Star and Industry Inspiration – will be voted for by you, the Serviced Apartment News readers. If you would like to nominate one of your colleagues for either of these awards, please email george@servicedapartmentnews.com with more information.
The 2019 awards ceremony will be at a new venue, the Park Plaza Riverbank, London, and takes place on March 14th 2019.
