The 2015 Best in Business Travel Awards put the accent on both consistency and innovation in a changing industry.
Since 1988, when Business Traveler first asked its readers to choose who does travel better than anybody else, the changes in business travel have been nothing short of revolutionary. Virtually no segment of the industry has been immune from the forces of consolidation,disruption, technology and globalization that have wrought equally dramatic changes in practically every facet of today’s world.
But while these changes make headlines, behind the scenes the elite of the travel industry are busy adopting, adapting, innovating and growing. In other words, the best companies in business travel are not standing still but continue to do what they’ve always done – providing travelers with exceptional products and services that make life on the road more productive, more profitable and more amiable.
Whatever the changes or the challenges over the past 27 years, one thing has remained constant: Our readers’ demand for excellence in travel. That’s the source authority for the Best in Business Travel Awards 2015. The fact that any company is voted to join this exclusive winners’ circle means they have brought to the business travel experience that extra measure of quality.
It’s Your Call
As always, it’s the voice of the business traveler that determines each nominee for the Best in Business Travel Awards. The recipients are those providers of services and products in the travel industry who have been voted the best in the travel industry by you, the readers of Business Traveler. No one from our staff had any part in pre-selecting companies or picking the recipients. So these awards truly reflect our readers’ choices.
