The shortlists for the special award categories at the 2024 Globe Travel Awards have been published, with a range of companies in the running for the Sustainable Future, Employer of the Year and inaugural Travel for All awards.
The first two categories were introduced last year to reflect the growing importance of sustainability and staff wellbeing, while the Travel for All award was launched this year for companies to showcase their commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
The shortlisted entries will be assessed by panels of expert judges, with best employer finalists also invited for interview. The winners will be announced at a spectacular ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House hotel on Thursday, January 11.
Lucy Huxley, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly Group, said: “The special categories at the Globe Travel Awards offer an opportunity for us to shine a light on companies which are leading the field in key areas.
“The quality of the submissions was again outstanding, and we look forward to revealing the winners at another spectacular Globes next month.”
