Travel Daily COVID awards

THE unprecedented COVID-19 situation has seen the Australian travel industry rise to the challenge, and TD believes that deserves recognition.

Travel consultants and industry suppliers have banded together to support one another through Facebook groups and webinars - and today we take things to the next level by announcing the 2020 Travel Daily Awards.

Open to anyone in the industry including those who have already been displaced by COVID-19 - the awards aim to give the industry an opportunity to highlight those who have gone above and beyond in these crazy times.

“We know the whole industry is suffering, but rather than dwelling on the negatives, the Travel Daily Awards will give an opportunity for the industry to express our mutual support for one another,” said Travel Daily publisher Bruce Piper.

There are no sponsors for the inaugural Travel Daily Awards, which will simply give suppliers the opportunity to highlight the support of consultants, and agents the ability to showcase suppliers who have stood by them through the pandemic.

The 2020 Travel Daily Awards will be conducted via a simple online nomination and judging process, with separate sections for agents and suppliers.

They are free to enter and we hope the awards provide some brightness amid the gloom.

Categories are available for the best support for agents from airlines, cruise companies, tour operators, accommodation providers, technology firms and travel industry sales executives.

Suppliers will be able to nominate travel consultants in each state and territory, with full details of the awards now online at awards.traveldaily.com.au.
