A very impressive portfolio of entrants covering the entire spectrum of the youth and educational travel industry. Special credit to those companies who involved quantitative data in their submissions to demonstrate their high levels of customer service. High standards of safety and sustainability are now expected as standard – you need to be doing something very special to stand out and it was inspiring to see such high levels of resilience and innovation as our industry recovers post covid

After the desperate and disheartening Covid years, I was amazed at how quickly passion, creativity and innovation have returned to the industry. The quality and number of entrants was evidence, if we needed it, that BETA members and their talented staff teams are back and eager to be recognised at the forthcoming British Youth Travel Awards! See you there!

There are a lot of people working hard to make the world of Educational Travel in the UK the best sector it can be. I am particularly struck by how much genuine care there is for customer experience and connecting communities – it’s right there, in every entry I’ve read. What an honour to be asked to judge these highly competitive awards. Thank you!
