Award "Star Travel.ru" - 2011: the struggle of applicants in the midst
The number of applicants for the annual award "Star Travel.ru" is increasing. The first consumer award in Russia and the only one of its kind in tourism will be awarded to the best of the best for the 9th time. And in the meantime, solely thanks to the opinion of thousands of tourists and travelers and their impressions of trips, the awards are automatically formed on the website from scratch.
Online closed competitive lists.
Now 212 domestic travel agencies, 224 resorts and 213 “beach” hotels around the world, 15 ski resorts in Russia, 14 Russian and 57 foreign airports, 93 airlines are already fighting for the “stars”. Also named 164, according to consumers, the best places to relax in 50 countries and 45 cities in the nomination “Best city for excursions”. In addition, tourists put forward guidebooks, media, thematic sites for the award, and 21 Russian-language travel bloggers compete in the new online nominations. 67 nominees compete for the right to be called “Dream Country”, 129 places and countries have already become “discovery of the year” for tourists.
“Star Travel.ru” is a truly national award, and it is markedly different from most other awards, which the winners themselves have repeatedly noted. In principle, there is no registration of nominees, no registration fees that guarantee participation (and, often, victory), and there is also no expert council of professionals that makes its verdict. The only thing that matters is the opinion of the tourists themselves. In each of the 71 nominations, the prize is awarded only on the basis of a majority of their votes. All this guarantees maximum objectivity of assessments and honest laureation. That is, in order to receive the award, it is necessary to earn the love, respect and recognition of consumers - the level of service, quality and reliability of work.
Voting will last until January, and submit candidates on the website. http://zvezda.travel.ru Maybe anyone who likes to travel.
"Star Travel.ru" helps to identify the dynamics of preferences of Russian tourists, helps to choose places for new interesting trips and identify the most professional companies in the travel industry that have earned the trust of consumers. At the same time, the prizes and certificates of the online award are not virtual: the founder, the travel information portal Travel.ru, will present them to the laureates on behalf of tourists at a solemn ceremony within the framework of the international exhibition MITT "Travel and Tourism" - one of the world's largest industry exhibitions.
