Agent Achievement Awards 2026 shortlists unveiled
The shortlists for the 2026 Agent Achievement Awards have been revealed, with agents and agencies from across the UK bidding for the trade’s highest accolades.
The industry’s biggest celebration of agents will take place at the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel on Thursday, July 9 and will be supported for the first time by joint headline sponsors: Virgin Atlantic and Celebrity Cruises.
The shortlists include agencies nominated by more than 100 suppliers, ranging from tour operators and cruise lines to airlines, tourist boards and ancillary companies.
Nominated and self-nominated categories also feature individuals from a wide range of companies and business models in addition to up-and-coming start-ups and those who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to sustainability and staff wellbeing and development.
A new award has also been introduced for 2026, to recognise grassroots excellence in the Agency Branch of the Year category.
Lucy Huxley, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly Group, said: “In what has been a challenging year for the travel trade, we have been overwhelmed by the volume and quality of entries and the number of votes from suppliers for this year’s Agent Achievement Awards.
“We are incredibly grateful to our headline sponsors Virgin Atlantic, our premium sponsors Bermuda Tourism Authority, easyJet holidays, Gold Medal and NCL, and all the other supporters of the AAAs, and we look forward to honouring the very best of the trade in London on July 9.”
