The Travel Industry Awards by TTG uses a mixture of judging methods to select shortlists and winners – including travel agent ratings, agent and expert judging panels and shortlisting by senior TTG editors.
Agent-Judged Supplier categories:
A panel of TTG's editors will shortlist the submissions. The names of shortlisted suppliers will then be put out to TTG's travel agent audience who will rate the suppliers they've worked with recently according to product and service. This rating score is then shared with a judging panel of senior travel agency leaders and used as a guide for assessing the submissions and deciding a winner. Shortlisted suppliers in certain categories will be invited to attend a short Zoom interview with our judging panels w/c 15 July. This excludes the Agents’ Choice Large and Small categories which will be based solely on agent ratings.
Expert-Judged Supplier categories:
A panel of TTG's editors will shortlist the submissions. A judging panel of senior travel industry figures will assess the submissions across a range of criteria and select a winner.
Travel Agent Categories:
A group of TTG's editors will shortlist the submissions. A panel of senior travel industry figures will then judge the submissions in July to decide winners. Shortlisted agents will be invited to attend a short Zoom interview with our judging panels on Wednesday 17 July.
Fairer Travel categories:
A group of TTG's editors will shortlist the submissions. A panel of senior travel industry figures will then judge the submissions in July to decide winners. Those shortlisted for Best Place to Work in Travel and Sustainable Travel Company of the Year will be invited to attend a short Zoom interview with our judging panels on Monday 15 July.
Individual Fairer Travel categories:
A panel of TTG's editors will shortlist the submissions and discuss with senior travel industry judges to decide the winners.
The panel of expert judges will be revealed in May.
Judging for all categories (excluding individual Fairer Travel categories) will take place 15-22 July, while special categories judging will take place later in the year.
All Travel Industry Awards by TTG judges sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA) and aspects of judging entries, such as financial information is kept strictly confidential.
TTG will be using information shared during this year’s supplier categories for future insight projects to form a better picture of how the industry’s best companies are working with agent partners.
