The travel industry is back in full force and celebrating a bright future ahead with a host of awards and networking events for both industry and the general public.

Inspiring Women in Travel (Asia) Awards 2024

The Inspiring Women in Travel (Asia) Awards 2024 will take place on 27 April 2024 in Bangkok and is the only industry-wide awards show focusing entirely on the achievements of women in the travel and tourism industry in Asia.

Gender equality plays an increasingly important role when consumers choose their service providers, and data shows that consumers support companies who provide women with gender-focused initiatives, platforms and corporate actions.

Organised by Brand TD, formerly Travel Daily Media, the Inspiring Women in Travel (Asia) Awards 2024 honour women’s contributions to building one of the most popular travel markets in the world. The awards celebrate the achievements of women in various travel sectors, including airlines, airports, cruise, hospitality, HR, careers, luxury travel, MICE, tourism, travel tech, and travel agencies. Individual awards include Excellence in Mentoring, Woman of Virtue, Woman of Resilience, Humanitarian of Travel and Male Champion for Gender Equality, to name a few.

Nominations can be submitted until November 2023, after which a meticulous screening and judging process will take place.
