Travel & Tourism Awards

We are excited to announce the return of the Travel and Tourism Awards for the ninth consecutive year in 2025! Organized by LUXlife Magazine, this prestigious program is designed to honour exceptional businesses and individuals who are shaping the future of the global travel and tourism market. As the industry experiences remarkable success, the Travel and Tourism Awards 2025 offer a unique platform to showcase and celebrate the innovation, dedication, and excellence propelling this dynamic sector forward.

The travel and tourism industry has long been a vital part of the world economy, contributing significantly to employment, market development, and cultural exchange. Despite the lingering effects of the pandemic, the sector has now fully recovered, bolstered by strong consumer demand, emerging technology and trends, and an eagerness to return to exploring the world. The World Travel & Tourism Council is expecting 2024 to be a record-breaking year, with the market’s global economic contribution set to hit an all-time high of over $11 trillion. If this staggering figure is successfully reached, this would mean that one in every ten dollars worldwide is generated through travel and tourism, proving its critical role in the modern business landscape.

While financial uncertainty and geopolitical turmoil are challenging restraints for the sector, travel and tourism continues to thrive and is projected to expand significantly over the next decade. Driven by online exposure, a rise in disposable income, continued government investment, and an increased focus on experiences, personalisation, and sustainability, the sector is undergoing a rapid transformation characterised by robust growth and unparalleled career opportunities.

There are a variety of trends that are boosting performance and rapidly reshaping the travel and tourism space. With more travellers seeking eco-friendly options, destinations and businesses prioritizing environmental responsibility are gaining prominence. Moreover, the blending of business and leisure travel continues to rise, with more professionals extending work trips to enjoy personal time at their destination. Digital transformation is also playing a crucial role, as innovations like contactless check-ins and AI-powered travel recommendations enhance the convenience and personalization of travel. Additionally, wellness tourism remains a strong growth area, with more travellers looking to focus on mental and physical well-being.

The Travel and Tourism Awards 2025 will recognize and celebrate businesses that have successfully adapted to these new trends, delivering excellence in customer service, innovation, and guest experience. Whether you operate a cutting-edge travel technology company, a luxury resort, or a boutique travel agency, being part of this awards program offers unparalleled opportunities to showcase your achievements and gain recognition on an international scale. Furthermore, award recipients will have the chance to capitalize on their success through exclusive promotional packages, ensuring visibility to a global audience of travel enthusiasts, industry leaders, and potential clients.

We encourage all businesses in the travel and tourism industry, regardless of size or location, to nominate themselves for consideration in the Travel and Tourism Awards 2025.

Frequently Asked

When did LUXlife launch?

Today, LUXlife is one of AI Global Media’s most popular standalone publications but it launched as a bi-product of the luxury lifestyle sections from two of our flagship brands, Acquisition International & Wealth & Finance. In this respect, we’ve been active in the Lifestyle Sector since 2010; however, as demand for this type of coverage increased, we made the decision, in 2015, to separate the content and launch LUXlife, as an independent brand.

Who nominated me?

A large part of the nomination process is driven by LUXlife, we spend a great deal of time identifying potentially suitable candidates within their appropriate markets. A publisher-cast nomination doesn’t hold any more weight than a self, or third-party nomination, they all filter through to the research stage in the same manner. If you didn’t self-nominate the nomination will have come from either a third-party vote via our online voting form or, by us the publisher. We run the nomination process via our website entirely anonymously, prohibiting us to provide specific details. Tried and tested over the years, response rates are always higher this way. As we operate in this manner, we run a very rigorous filtering system and do not directly link the number of votes received with success. We store encrypted versions of the IP address associated with the nomination, allowing us to track unusual behaviour.

I’ve accepted the nomination, what happens next?

Once a nomination is accepted, the organisation will be moved on to our shortlist. Shortlisted parties are encouraged to submit supporting materials via our optional questionnaire. This is the perfect opportunity to put forward any specifics you’d like our judging panel to take into consideration before they undertake extensive research for up to 8 weeks.

What are the costs?

There are no obligatory costs in accepting a nomination or winning a LUXlife award. In fact, to demonstrate our commitment to this, all our winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain, regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to leverage the value of the award and our seal of approval. We offer a variety of promotional opportunities to our winners. as we have an extensive network and we know, more than anyone, the wider business benefits from promoting industry awards. It’s important to highlight, all conversations pertaining commercial add-ons are conducted after winners are announced, so there is no possibility an organisation can influence any internal decisions, based on their appetite to spend on marketing; this remains our utmost concern.

Who makes the final decision?

We have an entirely unbiased internal panel. It consists of an international, collective of individuals, with backgrounds from a myriad of fields, such as business, economy, politics, media, journalism, history and education. The panel is led by a veteran academic leader with international pedagogic and coaching experience who is well versed in research, fact-checking and mediation; allowing the panel to operate with efficacy and dependability.

When’s the ceremony?

We do not gather our winners together to present the news. We’re a little bit too new-media for that! All announcements are made digitally, online and across our network. Hosting events and celebration dinners is an expense we’d rather our clients not entertain. We’d much rather keep the cost of our services and products low, so our winners can choose to spend money on marketing that generates real-world value.

So, what happens if I do win?

You get to select the level of coverage that suits you and we set to work to prepare all the relevant elements in time for our public announcement. Our main coverage takes the form of a digital winner’s magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, certificates and varied online packages offering social media exposure. We have a highly experienced editorial and production department who will guide you through this process and give you full control over your eventual coverage.

Why does your email domain differ from your website domain?

Because we send a large volume of emails, we separate our campaign email sends from our transactional ones. This structure helps to ensure a prompt and thorough response from one of our diligent team members. The sending email address will always be recognisable but please contact us via the address on this page if you have any concerns.
