The shortlists have been unveiled for the 2024 Travel Weekly Globe Travel Awards, the most prestigious accolades in the travel industry.
The shortlists were created based on nominations from frontline travel sellers, and reflect the companies, brands and destinations that have done most to support their trade partners and customers over the past year.
They are published in a special supplement produced with this week’s edition of Travel Weekly.
Voting will take place until December 8, ahead of the event itself, which takes place at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel in partnership with consumer media partner Hearst UK on Thursday, January 11.
Lucy Huxley, Travel Weekly editor-in-chief, said: “The Globe Travel Awards are the highlight of the industry calendar, and the response we receive from our agent readers during the nomination and voting stages, as well as the reaction of the winners on the night, truly shows how highly the awards are regarded – and we never take that for granted.”
Find out who has made the shortlists below – and for more information on the Globes and to book tickets, please visit The Globe Travel Awards website. Shortlists for the special awards will be revealed closer to the event.
