Business Traveller Russia and CIS Awards

The Business Traveller Awards have won the reputation of an authoritative award as award laureates are chosen by the votes of readers and not by a jury or an expert board.

winner-trophies-of-business-traveller-russia-and-cis-awards-2016Frequent travellers had three months to vote for the best representatives of the Russian business travel market in six categories: airline, airport, destination, hotel, car rental service and roaming.

Vote participants included readers of the Russian edition of the Business Traveller: frequent business travellers, graduates of the leading international and Russian business schools, chief executives of large international companies, representatives of banks, Russian state corporations, as well as individual travellers.

The importance of the Business Traveller Russia and CIS Awards for the Russian business travel market lies in determination of the loyalty degree and customer satisfaction level, the so-called positive index of Customer Experience. Due to the specially developed respondent questionnaire and the opinion poll of the representatives of various professional spheres, award results can help to determine quality standards of travel services and the needs both of the corporate and the individual traveller. Customer satisfaction is the key to the development of the Russian hospitality sector, incoming and outcoming travel.

Business Traveller Russia and CIS Awards 2016 ceremony was held with the support of Moscow City Government.

The Greek Travel Pages (GTP) was a media partner of the Business Traveller Russia and CIS Awards.
