hospitalitytoday.com | 5 UK hospitality voted ‘world class’ TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2014 Last year proved a “fantastic year for UK hospitality”, according to the TripAdvisor 2014 Travellers’ Choice awards, unveiled on 22 January. There were 26 UK properties in the world’s best, up from 14 in 2013. Globally, only Italy did better. The best B&Bs in the world are British: the top two, 6 of the top 10 and 15 of the top 25 in the world are in the UK. Award winners were based on the reviews by users of TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel website with more than 260 million visitors a month. “For the twelfth year running, these awards recognise the finest hotels across the globe, according to those that really matter - the travellers themselves,” commented James Kay of TripAdvisor.
