With the reopening of international borders on the horizon and the global vaccine rollout gathering pace, World Travel Awards has launched its #Together initiative with the aim of galvanising the recovery efforts of the global travel and tourism economy.
#Together serves an on-going resource of information, practical advice and insights from the travel industry’s thought-leaders and decision-makers to aid the collective recovery by uniting the industry as a global unit, pooling collective knowledge and fostering cooperation. The campaign is all complimentary.

If you would like one of our journalists to interview you or the leader of your organisation about your #Together, please get in touch.
