The organisation is inviting nominations from around the travel industry to honour those who have made a "significant contribution" to the sector over the last 12 months.

The winners will be announced at the AWTE’s annual Christmas lunch, which takes place on 5 December at The Swan Underglobe in London. 

Chair Lindsay Garvey Jones said 2022 has "continued to be a really challenging" time, after the Omicron variant of Covid-19 stalled the travel industry’s recovery towards the end of 2021 and the start of this year.

"Once again, after the success of last year’s combined event we are delighted be able to bring together our annual awards and our Christmas lunch in one-star studded event," she added.

Travel industry employees can nominate themselves, a colleague, or a company they believe has supported women in their career in travel. 

Categories include the Honorary Award, Ambassador Award, Start Up of the year Award, Social Impact Award, Inclusion Award and Rising Star of the Year Award.
