THE TravMedia Awards 2026

On 22 June 2026, the TravMedia Awards 2026 celebrated the very best in travel journalism, content creation and communications. Finalists, sponsors, judges and industry colleagues gathered at The Londoner for a memorable black-tie gala evening, recognising outstanding achievement across the travel media and communications landscape.

With more than 1,000 submissions received, this year's winners represent the highest standards of storytelling, creativity, content creation and media campaign. From journalists and content creators to PR professionals, the awards shine a spotlight on the individuals and organisations helping shape the future of travel.

The Awards are judged by an independent panel of leading figures in travel and are organised by TravMedia, the global network connecting the travel industry with the media.
