Additionally, in order to deepen the evaluation process, finalists in the judged ATAS Accredited Business categories will have the opportunity to present their achievements directly to a panel of industry judges. This increased interaction with the finalists will help the judges in making the most informed choice of Award recipients. The 2024 awards will see the return of 35 celebrated categories, including the reintroduction of the ‘Most Outstanding Consumer Travel Journalist’ and ‘Most Outstanding Marketing Campaign’. ATIA is also hosting the Beyond Borders summit on 25 October, the day before NTIA. All individual tickets purchased this month will receive included individual ATIA membership: www.atia.travel/bb24.
