York has been named a finalist at the Group Leisure and Travel Awards 2024 but could it be crowned an overall winner? This is how you can have your say.
The historical city in North Yorkshire was just one of the locations to be shortlisted for the Best UK Destination award.
But what makes it one of the greatest places to visit? Could be the bars, the iconic Shambles or the impressive York Minster?
York is featured alongside other towns and cities in Britain, including the Isle of Wight, Leicester and Leicestershire, London, Norwich and Wiltshire.
Group Leisure and Travel Awards commented: “The nominations were made, now it is time to open Round 2 and reveal the shortlist.
“If you organise group trips and holidays, we want you to vote for who, what and where is best from our list of finalists below - help shape the biggest and most important awards in group travel.
“You do not need to vote for every category, just the ones you choose to.”
The website added: “Votes must be received by the extended deadline of Sunday 28th April 2024 to be counted.
“Make sure you click 'Submit Voting' at the bottom of the page after making your choices.”
