Nominations are rolling in for the 2026 Women in Travel Awards, as the industry comes together once again in celebration of the women driving change, inspiring others and making an outstanding contribution to Australian travel.
This year’s theme, ‘Never Too Much’, is a call for women to embrace ambition, authenticity and taking up space. Think Vogue-inspired glamour, bold self-expression and owning every part of who you are.
If you know an incredible woman who deserves to be recognised, now is the perfect time to nominate her.
The process is simple, free and completely anonymous; all you need to do is complete the nomination form on the Women in Travel Awards website and include a message explaining why you have chosen them.
If you would like your chosen nominee to know who recognised them, simply include your name in the message.
Receiving a nomination is a meaningful recognition from a peer, a colleague or mentor, but nominees will still need to complete their own awards entry to be considered by the judges.
There is no cost to enter, and women at every stage in their career are encouraged to take part.
Whether you’re shining a light on someone else’s achievements or backing yourself, there is no better time to get involved.
Nominate an outstanding woman in travel, or complete your entry now.
