Voting for the World Travel Awards 2025 has opened for categories in Africa, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Middle East and North America.

This year’s nominees cover the entire length and breadth of the global travel industry. Categories include Aviation, Tourist Attractions, Car Hire, Destinations, Hotels & Resorts, Meetings & Events, Travel Agencies and Tour Operators.

Votes can be made by industry professionals – senior executives, travel buyers, tour operators and travel agents – as well as the general public and the media. Votes are submitted online at WTA’s website. Voting operates on a first-past-the-post system: the recipient of the most votes in a category is declared the winner.

Voting for the remaining regions of Asia, Europe, Latin America and Oceania will open on 1 April.

For organisations yet to enter this year’s programme, the late entry deadline is fast approaching. Applying is quick and simple, and can be made via the website.

Graham Cooke, Founder, World Travel Awards said: “With voting now open for our key regions of Africa, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Middle East and North America, it is time for you to choose the organisations that are raising the bar of travel excellence. Meanwhile, any brands yet to enter this year’s programme, you only have a few days remaining to submit your entry.”

Each year World Travel Awards covers the globe with its Grand Tour – a series of regional gala ceremonies to recognise excellence within each continent. The winners of each regional category will progress to the Grand Final where they go head-to-head with the winners of the other regional heats for the prestigious World categories.

This year’s Grand Tour will include ceremonies in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Cancún (Mexico), Hong Kong, Dubai (UAE), with the Grand Final taking place in Bahrain.
