The National Travel Industry Awards (NTIAs) proudly recognises and celebrates excellence in the Australian travel industry, through a rigorous process which includes nominating, voting and judging candidates, culminating in the announcement of the winners at a Gala Awards Dinner.

Take part in 2026 

Each year, our nominees have the opportunity to showcase how they have demonstrated outstanding conduct and excellence in customer service and industry / trade support. 

This is the travel industry's night of nights where we come together to celebrate and acknowledge the innovation, determination and resilience of our people and our sector.

Don't wait - your opportunity has arrived.

This could be your year 

It's been a disruptive start to the year, with the changes to the UK passport entry requirements, European Entry / Exit System, Middle East conflict, fuel prices, and changes to surcharging legislation.

Through it all, our members and trade partners have supported Aussie travellers with unwavering commitment, expertise and care. 

Now is your opportunity to recognise the achievements of the Australian travel industry, by peer nominating them for an NTIA award.
