Nominations open for 2025 Globe Travel Awards

Nominations have opened for the 2025 Travel Weekly Globe Travel Awards, which will take place in London on Thursday, January 16.

Frontline agents are invited to nominate their top suppliers and destination partners over the course of the next month, with those receiving the most nominations featuring on the shortlists published before voting opens in mid-November.

Nominations and entries are also open for our five special awards: Travel for All, Sustainable Future and Employer of the Year, which are open to all suppliers selling through trade channels; and Unsung Hero and Outstanding Achievement, which can be won by either travel agents or suppliers.

Stu Parish, UK chief executive of Travel Weekly parent company Jacobs Media, said: “The Globe Travel Awards is a phenomenal way to kick off the year, celebrating the suppliers and individuals who are at the top of their game – and the 2025 event is gearing up to be bigger and better than ever before.

“We’re proud that our industry consistently places such importance on winning a Globe and we love honouring everyone’s achievements on the night. But it all starts with the thousands of agent readers of Travel Weekly who make the Globes possible by nominating and voting for the trade partners who have supported them over the past year.

“I continue to be impressed by the determination and passion we see across the industry, so thank you to all those who take a few moments of their time to pay tribute to the very best suppliers in travel.”
