NTIA nominations open

This year’s National Travel Industry Awards are expected to be more highly prized than ever, with the importance of a rigorous judging regime and enforcement of high standards brought into sharp focus by the collapse of Excite Holidays just six weeks after the failed business was named Wholesaler of the Year in another awards program.

The 2020 NTIA Nomination period runs until Friday 14 February, with travel agents able to nominate suppliers in a range of categories. Suppliers can also nominate agents, and AFTA is accepting selfnominations for the Emirates Travel Consultant Scholarship. All 2020

NTIA nominees will be announced next month along with the opening of the formal voting period. The process culminates in the NTIA Gala Dinner on Saturday 18 July 2020.
