What Can You Expect at the TravMedia Awards?

NEW

Saluting Travel's Best

The Awards remain the only set to recognise the spectrum of talent across the travel media landscape, celebrating PRs, journalists, and content creators. With more than 30 categories – including the new-for-2026 Cruise Writer of the Year – the awards celebrate standout storytelling, creative campaigns, and the influential work shaping how travel is both presented and, in turn, experienced.

A Gala Dinner Event

Now in its sixth year, we've seen the event grow year on year, with last year's Awards attended by more than 300 media, content creators, PRs and industry professionals. It was incredible night! This year our celebrity host will again drive the show, while around the ballroom our sponsors’ tables will host category finalists.
