Sponsored by the Malta Tourism Authority, the accolade will focus on the work that travel firms have done to create inclusive working environments for their employees, and/or how they have improved services for their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender customers in the past 12 months.

Examples of this could include specific staff training, the signing of the TTG Diversity Charter as well as creating inclusive marketing.

TTG Media is looking for companies small and large, with the award open to a range of businesses within the industry, from travel agencies to cruise lines, tour operators to airports. Companies can nominate themselves or be nominated by others.

Submissions must explain in 250 words why the business deserves to win. A shortlist will then be decided by external judges, before the overall winner is announced at the TTG Travel Awards on September 18.

Entries must be submitted by August 3.
