Launched over 40 years ago, the BGTW International Tourism Awards scheme recognises excellence in tourism projects in three categories:
- Best UK Tourism Project
- Best Europe Tourism Project
- Best Wider World Tourism Project
Guild members really do travel the world, reporting back on projects and initiatives they think deserve notice. Some projects have cost millions and are well-publicised; others are simpler community projects that take just as much effort and love.
For the ITA, projects are proposed by members. Once verified, nominated projects are put out to BGTW members for voting.

The shortlist is announced at the start of September with three finalists in each of the three categories.
The winners
The three winners will be announced at the BGTW Gala Dinner on 3 November in central London, on the eve of World Travel Market. However, with the ITA’s purpose to raise awareness of lesser-known tourism projects across the world, the remaining finalists will receive a ‘Finalist’ certificate, with the other tourism projects that were nominated but which didn’t make the shortlist, receiving a BGTW Merit Award.
