Starting today and ending 27 February 2017, the public can vote for the visit.brussels Awards at www.awards.brussels. Everyone is invited to take part in selecting the best three tourist initiatives in Brussels in each category for their work done in 2016.
Once the three finalists in each category have been announced, a jury of professionals from the Brussels tourist scene will select the winners of the 2017 awards.
