NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today TripSavvy announced the winners of its third annual TripSavvy Editors' Choice Awards, which honor the best of the travel industry. This year, winners were evaluated using new criteria that recognizes businesses, from large companies to hometown heroes, doing the most good for customers and communities during the global pandemic and fighting for equity and equality. 

A departure from previous iterations, which named more than a thousand winners worldwide, TripSavvy's award-winning editors selected this year's intimate group of 70 U.S. businesses because of the hope they offer in a difficult year. More than 30 U.S.-based travel experts worked alongside TripSavvy editors to surface the behind-the-scenes stories of businesses aiding medical workers, supporting the fight for racial equality, and championing their communities.

This year's winners were chosen for their adaptability, innovation, and commitment to next-level customer service. The 70 honorees were divided into four categories including Industry Leaders, Innovators, Community Leaders, and Quick Responders.
