Get ready to play the key role when voting begins for the 2016 Travvys, the travel industry's top awards for suppliers and destinations. That's because travel agents are at the center of determining who takes center stage when we announce the winners at our live event in New York City.
We already have hundreds of entries, all vying for travel agents to choose them as the best. But there are many who have been procrastinating and aren't going to be a part of the process unless they make the move to enter this week. Once July 31 comes and goes, only those who have made their entries will be considered for a 2016 Travvy.
Why Enter? Let's Start With Millions of Consumers!
The media exposure for the 2015 Travvys provided reach to millions of travelers, not just travel agents and the travel industry. The number one cable morning show, Fox and Friends, secured an exclusive to share the power of the Travvys with their audience…within 36 hours of the inaugural live event last January. In addition, the entire list of winners were featured on FoxNews.com, reaching millions of online users interested in travel.
Every single winner was also profiled on TravelPulse.com, the largest travel news site in the world, while many were featured in articles in Agent@Home and VacationAgent magazines.
Every article also appeared on our growing network of consumer travel sites, powered by AgentStudio, a number that currently totals more than 3,500 sites. With site numbers forecasted to reach more than 7,000 sites by the end of 2015, the reach through this network alone will reach millions more as they are researching and buying travel.
Leveraging Your Win
You have to enter to win, but should you take a Travvy home in January, you'll have a year to promote your win in all of your normal marketing and public relations efforts. That includes the use of the Travvy 2016 logo, marketing materials and more. With gold and silver winners in every category this year, you have twice as many chances to win…if you enter.
The deadline is approaching this week and time is running out for you to enter. The last chance to enter will be July 31 so stop procrastinating and get those entries in. We look forward to celebrating with you at an exciting event this January, right before the New York Times Travel Show!
Don't miss out on your chance to be named among the very best in travel. Enter now.
