Entries For Inaugural WTM Africa Travel & Tourism Awards Open

Entries for the inaugural WTM Africa Travel & Tourism Awards are open across 12 innovative categories which reward individuals, small and large organisations for powerful and compelling work in promoting tourism across Africa. Launched at WTM 2019, the WTM Africa Travel & Tourism Awards are to be judged by an independent panel of senior industry professionals and seek to showcase the best-in-class of the global travel & tourism industry.
The awards also seek to consolidate the various standalone awards that recognise outstanding travel and tourism businesses across the continent.
The names of the categories are a nod to the types of entries the judges are seeking, with the tale of the journey – rather than simply the result – at the forefront. The 12 categories are:
Most compelling National Tourism Board Story
Most compelling Regional/City Story
Most compelling Technology & Innovation Story
Most compelling Agency Story
Most compelling PR Story
Most compelling Digital Campaign in Tourism Story
Most compelling Digital Influencer Story
Most compelling Wellness Destination Story
Most compelling Responsible Tourism Story
Most compelling Adventure Story
Most compelling Foodie Story
Most compelling Inclusive Story
Only campaigns executed in the period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019 will be eligible for the 2020 WTM Africa Travel & Tourism Awards. For more details on each category, visit https://africa.wtm.com/Awards1.
Entries close on 31 January 2020 and the winners will be announced at the commencement of WTM Africa 2020 on 6 April at Gold Restaurant in Cape Town. To book your stand for #WTMA20 or apply to be a Hosted Buyer, visit http://africa.wtm.com/.
