Finalists for Travel Industry Awards 2026 revealed

More than 100 companies from across the sector are in the running for honours as travel’s best and brightest prepare to take the spotlight at Camden’s Roundhouse in September.

Now in its sixth year, the Travel Industry Awards celebrate brands and individuals who have raised the bar, innovated and done the most to champion a fairer and more responsible industry over the past 12 months.

Held this year in association with Seat Unique, the ceremony will take place on Wednesday 23 September.

Early bird tickets – saving £50 on individual or up to £500 on tables of 10 – are on sale until Friday 19 June.

A rigorous, multi-stage judging process now gets under way to find our 2026 winners – comprising a mix of travel agent rating, video interviews and industry experts running the rule over written entry submissions.

Entries remain open for two prestigious awards – the John Hays Entrepreneur Award, which celebrates true entrepreneurial spirit disrupting the travel sector, and the Diversity Trailblazer Award.

Entries for both accolades close on Friday 31 July
