Voting is now open for The Hotlist 2025, giving agents the chance to recognise the best brands across key sectors
ravel Weekly is inviting agents to highlight the brands they and their clients love as The
Hotlist – the must-read annual guide to the trade’s favourite suppliers – returns for 2025. The survey, which is entirely
voted for by frontline travel sellers, recognises the best brands in ocean cruise, river cruise and the touring and adventure sectors. Published in association with
Virgin Atlantic and trade partners Clia and Atas (the Association of Touring & Adventure Suppliers), it offers a chance to celebrate the brands that offer unrivalled
product ranges and standout service across 30 categories. These span key regions and destinations, styles of travel and client segments. Building on the success of
2024’s publication, this year’s survey includes five new categories, recognising small-ship cruising, warm-water expeditions, fitness and wellness sailings, and tours focusing on adventure and culture. The winners will be revealed
at an event in London in June and published in a dedicated Travel Weekly supplement. Nicki Goldsmith, director
of global agency sales for Virgin Atlantic, said: “We’re delighted to
be working with Travel Weekly on the annual Hotlist survey, which attracts thousands of votes from travel agents all over the UK. It’s incredibly valuable for us to get this first-hand information to understand what frontline agents are booking and what’s proving popular with their customers. “We work closely with our
cruise line, touring and adventure operator partners, ensuring their customers are taken care of on board and that they reach their destination smoothly. We wish all
suppliers the best of luck.” i Cast your votes now by going to:
