Celebrating its tenth year, the 2020 Out & About with Kids Readers' Choice Awards has delivered some surprises, along with perennial favourites and newcomers making it onto the list of winners and finalists.
With more than 80,000 votes cast by readers across 42 categories, these prestigious annual awards showcase the best in family travel.
“The family travel market is a significant and ever-growing segment, particularly with the trend to multi-generational holidays and immersive adventure,” publisher Elisa Elwin says. “Our annual Readers' Choice Awards provide a valuable opportunity for that market to have their say. Every year we see firm family favourites emerge, but we also gain insight into the shifts and emerging trends in family holidays, which are reflected in readers choices.”
