TRAVEL CHANGEMAKERS AWARDS 2023

Since the reopening of travel, there have been lots of calls made in the travel industry to build back better, to take the lessons thrown at us by the Covid-19 pandemic, to plan and create a better future.

 

The Travel Changemakers Awards 2023, supported by ATTIA (Asian Travel Technology Industry Association), celebrates the innovators in Asia Pacific who seized the opportunity to introduce new initiatives and programmes to transform not only their organisation but also the industry, with the imaginative and clever use of technology at the heart of the change.

 

The technology can either have been deployed in the operations and execution or in the distribution and marketing of the programme/activity for outreach.

 

There are five Awards categories – Environmental Awareness & Action, Local Community Engagement, Hidden Gems, Regenerative Tourism and Diversity & Inclusion.

 

The awards is open to all in the travel industry – whether you’re an individual, tourism board, NGO, NPO (not-for-profit), social enterprise, public sector enterprise or private sector organisation, if you think you have done something to build back better in the following categories between May 2020 and December 2022, send in your nominations below.

 

Award winners will be recognised at WiT Singapore, October 2-4, 2023. The judges’ decision is final.
