Special awards Rising Brand of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, Start-up of the Year, Champions of Sustainability, the Mastercard B2B Payments Award and the Travolution Achievement Award will be judged separately.
To keep the process up-to-date and innovative, Travolution welcomed new judges this year to its expert panel of judges to ensure it continues to achieve complete impartiality and fresh points of view to judging.
Kate Harden-England, Editor of Travolution, said: “We work in one of the most exciting intersections of the travel industry and our awards, as always, showcases exactly that.
“Not only do companies and individuals have brilliant stories to tell of recent successes but judges have also seen a step up in entry quality this year, off the back of the article we shared on how to write a winning submission which is great to see.
“Congratulations to all those companies that have made this year’s bumper shortlists.
“I wish you the best of luck and I cannot wait to see who will lift the trophies on the night.”
