Voting closes on Monday 23rd September, and the winners in each category will be announced on 22nd October 2024. One of these winners will eventually be named Remarkable Venue of the Year.

Public voting process This year's local events aim to highlight regional excellence and foster a sense of community among tourism industry leaders. Nominees have been selected based on feedback from more than 2 million customer reviews, making the awards reflect the real experiences of visitors. Winners in each category will be determined through a public voting process, culminating in a grand ceremony on 22 October at the London Transport Museum. The winners in each category will then compete for the prestigious title of most outstanding venue (Remarke Venue) in their country, an honour awarded by a Tiqets internal panel. Laurens Leurink, CEO of Tiqets, commented, "Tiqets is proud to host the Remarkable Venue Awards, our annual celebration recognising the best venues and activities in the industry. This year, we are excited to take this to a local level, honouring top performers in each of our local markets.
