New submission forms will require businesses and individuals to demonstrate how they have aligned with TTG Media’s own mission, by working smarter, by better serving their customers, and by championing sustainability and fairer travel. 

New categories this year include Accessible Holidays Provider of the Year, to champion brands doing most to welcome travellers with accessibility requirements, and two categories to recognise – separately – sustainability projects focusing on the environment and others focusing on local communities.

A New Agent of the Year category, meanwhile, will recognise sales consultants who’ve worked in an agent role for 18 months or less.

There are 10 categories for agent-facing suppliers, which will be judged through a combination of travel agent ratings and written submissions, judged by senior winning travel agents from TTG’s Top 50 Travel Agencies 2022.

All other categories will be judged by panels of relevant, senior travel industry figures in July.

Select categories, including Family Holidays Provider and UK & Ireland Holidays Provider of the Year, are also open to direct-sell brands.

‘See you there’

TTG Media CEO Daniel Pearce said: “In 2021, we delivered our first new awards programme to huge acclaim. This year, we’re planning an even more incredible event, championing those that are working to promote a smarter, better, fairer travel industry.

"We’re thrilled to announce JetBlue as our headline partner – a company as passionate about sustainability as TTG is. September 29 promises to be another fantastic evening – we can’t wait to see you all there.”

Entries for agent, supplier and selected special categories are now open. 

Travel agent categories are free to enter, while suppliers can currently take advantage of an early-bird entry rate of £199+VAT until 1 April, when the cost per category will increase to £249+VAT. 

All submissions close on 29 April.
