14 May National Travel Industry Award enhancements, with nominations now open May 14, 2024 By Amanda Rixon Media Release, National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA) 0 Nominations for the awards open today and close 31 May via www.atia.travel/NTIA2024. Beginning this year, there will be additional benchmarks to the eligibility criteria for select categories. On the advice of the NTIA Custodians, nominees for these criteria will need to demonstrate a minimum Total Transaction Value (TTV) in order to qualify. 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.
