The sparkly frocks and penguin suits were out and so were the smiles on a chilly July Saturday night in Sydney. Yep, It’s that time of year again – It’s the annual NTIA’s and here are all the winners.
This year’s National Travel Industry Awards took place again at the International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour with award nominees and their glittering cheer squads coming from far and wide to see who took out the gongs.
Congratulations to all of the category finalists and to the winners from all of us at Karryon. In fact to everyone in the entire Australian travel industry. We think you’re all awesome.
