LONDON PASS IS EXPEDIA’S
‘BEST TRAVEL ACCESSORY’ OF THE YEAR

Top Award For Leisure Pass Group At Expedia Supplier Summit

The Leisure Pass Group has been presented with a major award by Expedia, the largest online travel agency in the UK.

The smart city card group has just won this year’s Expedia ‘Best Travel Accessory’ award, for its London Pass, which was presented to the group at Expedia’s recent Supplier Summit in London.

The award, which is part of Expedia’s Europe Middle East and Africa Partner programme was given to the Leisure Pass Group as a recognition of the benefits of the London Pass, its ‘one touch’ London Pass which offers pre-paid access to over 50 attractions in the capital.

To win the prestigious award the Leisure Pass Group had to satisfy the judges in a number of areas such as: popularity and revenue, as a well as going through a business partnership evaluation by experienced Expedia account managers.

Said Leisure Pass Group founding director Angus Rankine: “To be recognised as being the very best in our field by a company which now dominates the vital area of online sales is a great achievement”.

The Leisure Pass Group creates all-inclusive smart passes, for cities around the world. Launching with The London Pass, the programme now includes cities such as York as well as passes in New York and Paris. The concept behind each pass is to help visitors make the most of their stay by providing them with the best a city has to offer in tourist attractions, shopping, leisure, services and transport in some cities, all in one complete package. The purchase price covers entrance to all attractions, fast-track entry at a number of attractions, and gives discounts at shops, theatres, service providers and restaurants.

The Leisure Pass Group sells over 250,000 of its city passes every year, of which 150,000 are for UK attractions and 100,000 for overseas city cards. The group has passes for London, Paris and New York, and will be launching new city cards in the near future.
