THE TravMedia Awards 2023

The TravMedia Awards are back! Once again the Awards are set to recognise the finest journalistic, influencer and PR achievements in travel.

The countdown is underway to the announcement of the winners on 18 April 2023, when we head to hip and luxury hotel, The Londoner, Leicester Square for a black-tie gala dinner celebration.

Free to enter, the TravMedia Awards are the only accolades to celebrate the work of all professionals across the travel media, social and communications sectors. Highlights include the announcement of this year’s Travel Writer of the Year, Influencer of the Year and PR Professional of the Year.

Categories are adjudicated by an expert panel of judges selected from across the travel industry, including senior industry executives, media figures, commentators and communications heads.

The Awards are organised by TravMedia, the leading social network connecting the global travel industry with media and influencers, and are independent, with entry open to all journalists, influencers and PR professionals.

What Can You Expect at the TravMedia Awards?

A Gala Dinner Event

In 2022 we raised the bar and transformed the TravMedia Awards into a gala dinner event. Hosted by the irrepressible Sue Perkins, the Awards in April 2022 were attended by 280 media, influencers, PRs and industry professionals. What a truly memorable night it was! This year our celebrity host will again drive the show, while around the ballroom our sponsors’ tables will host category finalists.
