All of the finalists will be announced in the September issue of “Selling Travel” followed by an industry wide awards party on 25th September at which the Falkland Islands will be represented.

The awards voting closes on 8th October with the winners announced on-line 15th October and with the awards being presented the “Selling Travel Awards Ceremony” during World Travel Market in November.
