Winners Announced:

BGTW Members nominate and
vote for the PR Recognition Awards.
PR’s can not self-nominate.
New for 2026, the BGTW will present two certificates of recognition to the PR Professionals (one agency, one in-house) who always work hard to support us. While the BGTW’s Gala Awards Dinner celebrates our Members’ Excellence Awards, these new special BGTW accolades will celebrate the PR partners who really make a difference to our members, our organisation and the travel industry and are awarded for adaptability, professionalism and friendliness, rather than self-nominated campaign metrics. A small token of thanks from us as travel media to the tourism boards and PRs who support us.
Nick Wayland, TravMedia CEO and Founder, says: “Celebrating the very best in travel storytelling, the British Guild of Travel Writers Awards continue to set the standard for excellence, integrity, and inspiration in our industry. In a world where travel has never been more meaningful, these awards recognise the voices that bring destinations to life, challenge perspectives, and connect us across cultures. It’s a privilege to be part of a community that champions such outstanding talent and creativity.”
