Young people from all corners of the industry who think they would benefit from the scheme, now entering its 13th year, are urged to apply by May 21.
Meanwhile, anyone who thinks they are rubbing shoulders with a future leader on their team, is urged to nominate them themselves.
All applicants and nominators need to do is fill out a simple form, highlighting the candidate’s achievements to date. A shortlisted 60 will then be asked to upload a one minute video explaining why they should join the group, before the final 30 is confirmed this summer.
TTG’s long-standing partner on the project, Tui UK and Ireland, is once again throwing its backing behind the programme this year, with the Institute of Travel and Tourism and Association of Women travel Executives also supporting the initiative.
Bart Quinton-Smith, Tui UK and Ireland’s marketing and sales director, said: “I know first-hand the benefits this initiative brings. I started my career in the travel industry in 2010 through Tui’s graduate scheme, and was part of the TTG 30 Under 30 class of 2015.
"The programme gives talented people support, inspiration and guidance that can have a real impact on their careers."
Besides seeing yourself celebrated and profiled in the pages of TTG, benefits include invitations to a series of networking dinners and roundtable events, and opportunities to rub shoulders with some of today’s biggest business leaders. The chosen 30 will also receive free membership of the ITT and AWTE.
TTG Media chief executive Daniel Pearce said: “As a certified B Corp, TTG Media is passionate about the people of the travel industry and about encouraging personal development of people at every stage of their careers.
"With 12 years of history behind the TTG 30 Under 30, we’re proud of the many senior people in travel who have passed through the scheme since its inception.
"Of all of TTG’s wide-ranging initiatives, this one is closest to my heart, and the one that has perhaps had the biggest impact over the past decade. Apply today!”
Visit ttgmedia.com/30under30 to apply for yourself or to nominate someone for this year’s cohort. Entry to the TTG 30 Under 30 is restricted to those who will still be under the age of 30 on 31 December 2025.
