About the Awards

The global recognition platform for travel awards.

The International Travel Awards is the flagship hospitality recognition program operated by Golden Tree Events LLC, Dubai. We honor outstanding hotels, resorts, airlines, travel agencies, tour operators, tourism boards, luxury villas, cruise lines, and travel technology companies whose work has elevated the global guest experience.

Established to bring rigor and credibility to travel-industry awards, our programs recognize excellence in service, innovation, sustainability, design, and commercial achievement. Whether you operate a single boutique property in the Maldives or a hotel chain spanning forty countries, the International Travel Awards measures excellence on the same merit-based criteria.

Winning the International Travel Awards is a strategic asset leveraged in marketing campaigns, OTA listings, investor presentations, and recruitment communications by hundreds of past honorees. Submit your nomination and join an alumni network spanning every continent.
