BBC World Voted Top Channel For Travellers

BBC World has been voted The World's Leading TV Channel for Travellers at the 14th World Travel Awards for the third year in a row.

The World Travel Awards were conceived in 1993 to 'acknowledge and celebrate excellence in the world's travel and tourism industry'.

BBC World's reach within the travel sector continues to grow year-on-year in this immensely important sector of distribution, meaning that the channel can now be seen by travellers wherever they are in the world."
