With new awards for 2024, this year’s programme will once again recognise brands and individuals who have raised the bar, stood out from their competitors, and strived to work smarter, better and fairer over the past 12 months.

Taking place on Thursday 26th September at Magazine London, beside the O2 Arena, the event, which was last year hosted by TV legend Davina McCall and featured a performance from superstar DJ Joel Corry, will showcase a spectacular celebration of travel. 

Among four new awards for this year are the Agents’ Choice – Large and Agents’ Choice – Small accolades which recognise the supplier trade support teams TTG’s travel agent audience believes have worked smartest, and delivered the best service and support in the past year.

TTG’s travel agent audience will rate the brands they’ve worked with recently according to product and service, with shortlists announced in June and winners revealed during the ceremony in September.

Both awards are free to enter.

Meanwhile, two other new awards within the Fairer Travel categories are:

The Diversity Trailblazer Award - which celebrates an individual putting diversity and equality at the heart of everything they do, to make their company and/or the wider travel industry a more inclusive place

The Positive Impact Award - recognising a single project or campaign by any travel company which has made a truly positive impact - either from an environmental or social perspective.

The full programme comprises four groups of categories, including trade-facing supplier categories rated by travel agents and judged by TTG’s Top 50 travel agents; supplier categories judged by expert judging panels drawn from the highest level of the industry; Fairer Travel categories celebrating excellence in sustainability and inclusion; and individual travel seller categories.

Entries for supplier, agent and some Fairer Travel categories are now open

The early-bird entry rate, saving £50 per category, will run until 5 April - with all entries closing on 17 May.
