The BGTW Awards Dinner, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2018, is one of the highlights of the travel industry calendar.
The 2018 event, which took place on Sunday 4 November – as always, on the eve of World Travel Market – at The Savoy hotel in central London, was kindly sponsored by the Balearic Islands Tourist Board (comprising Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera).
During the evening, the winners of the BGTW Tourism Awards, and the annual BGTW Members’ Awards, were announced.
Launched 40 years ago as the Silver Otter Award, the BGTW Tourism Awards – divided into three categories: UK and Ireland; Europe; and the Wider World – showcase outstanding tourism projects.
The annual BGTW Members’ Awards recognise excellence across all disciplines of travel journalism produced by members of the BGTW.

The BGTW Awards Dinner, held in the glamorous surroundings of The Savoy’s Lancaster Ballroom, provides an annual opportunity for ambassadors, ministers of state, travel and tourism CEOs and their top executives, PRs and key travel editors, journalists and bloggers, to get together and network.
Over the years this black-tie event has become well known as an evening of great company, great food and great entertainment.
