The BGTW Gala Awards Dinner, this year celebrating its 20th anniversary, is one of the highlights of the travel industry calendar. This year’s event, which takes place on Sunday 4th November, at The Savoy in central London, and on the eve of World Travel Market, is being kindly sponsored by the Balearic Islands Tourist Board (comprising Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera).
During the evening, the winners of the prestigious BGTW Tourism Awards 2018, and the annual BGTW Members’ Awards, will be 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 Members’ Awards recognise excellence across all disciplines of travel journalism produced by members of the BGTW.

The BGTW Gala 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.
