New Categories for 2025

The TravMedia Awards Categories

The TravMedia Awards honour the finest achievements across the travel media and PR landscape, and set the highest bar for recognising the sector’s finest output. Now in its fifth year and, with over 1,000 registrations received last year, the Awards are firmly established as the accolade to win for every journalist, content creator, and PR working in travel today.

The Awards celebrate outstanding talent across 30 categories, including three new awards for 2025. They bestow recognition on travel's dedicated, hard-working media professionals and create invaluable career profiling and business opportunities for winners and finalists.
