Andrew Dent, Publisher of Family Traveller magazine, said: “We are delighted with the travel industry’s response to our first ever Family Traveller Awards. Over 2200 family travel companies and brands were nominated in June and the panel had a very tough decision in creating the shortlist. Now it’s in the hands of our readers and the public, and we suggest all shortlisted companies spread the word over social media to ensure they have the best chance of winning. We are excited to see which way the results will swing and are looking forward to announcing the winners at our awards ceremony in September.”
