Introducing the BGTW PR Recognition Awards

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.
