Countdown to 2024 Travel Marketing Awards deadline under way

The awards, which will once again be held at the Hilton London Bankside, will honour the industry’s top performing and most innovative marketers.

Prospective entrants across the 34 award categories have until Friday 5 April to get their entries in ahead of the ceremony on 5 July.

The categories are broken down into three main strands: main awards across various types of advertising and media; campaigns; and ’of the year’ awards.

TTG Media has extended its media partnership with The Travel Marketing Awards, which is organised by the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Travel Group.

Last year’s awards introduced a new award recognising marketers’ commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in their ads and campaigns, which is presented in association with TTG Media.

Keith Cartwright, chair of the CIM’s Travel Group, said the awards served as a "beacon of excellence" – one that highlights "the creativity and innovation driving the sector forward".

"We encourage all eligible participants to seize this opportunity to showcase their achievements and join us in celebrating the best in travel marketing," said Cartwright.

Last year’s winners included Tui UK, Abta and Finn Partners; Tui UK took home the In-House Team of the Year gong, while Abta was named Travel Brand of the Year (Established). Finn, meanwhile, was named PR Agency of the Year.

The first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Campaign award, sponsored by TTG Media, was awarded to Kent Downs AONB for its Up the Kent Downs (Muslim Hikers Coastal Trek) campaign, created in partnership with Vivid.
