Glasgow in running to be crowned world's top festival and event destination - here's how you can vote

Glasgow is in the running to be crowned the World's Leading Festival & Event Destination 2019 at this year's World Travel Awards - and you can vote for the city to win.

The city was nominated for the prestigious award after winning the accolade of Europe's Leading Festival & Event Destination 2019 - beating off competition from the likes of Venice, London and Barcelona - at a gala ceremony in Madeira back in June this year.

While in respect of the world prize, Glasgow finds itself competing against Cape Town, Dubai, London, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, Shangai, Singapore, Sydney, Seoul, Guayaquil in Ecuador and Danang in Vietnam for the award.

The awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.

And the winner will be revealed at the World Travel Awards Grand Final Gala Ceremony 2019 in Muscat, Oman on November 28.

Voting closes this coming Sunday (October 20), so you'll need to be quick if you want to cast your vote for Glasgow.
