The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) has unveiled the finalists in the voted categories for this year’s National Travel Industry Awards (NTIAs), with less than two months to go until the big event.
Following weeks of scrutiny by independent judges and industry voting, NTIA submissions were shortlisted to finalists, with the top five nominees in most cases going on to the last stage.
In the remaining categories, where overall scores were tied, ATIA announced up to nine finalists.
Acknowledging the “high calibre” of submissions received across all categories this year, ATIA will reveal the finalists in the individual categories later this week and the business category finalists next week.
All up, the NTIAs garnered 8,342 votes across all industry voting categories.
NTIA 2023 will take place at Melbourne’s Palladium at Crown on 18 November.
“Thank you to everyone whose nomination we received and to those who engaged in the voting process,” ATIA CEO Dean Long said.
“We’ve seen an incredible quality of submissions this year, and it’s amazing to see how many people and businesses have voted to showed their support to their fellow travel professionals.
“We can’t wait to see everyone down in Melbourne on the 17 and 18 November and coming together to celebrate our industry.”
