We are delighted to announce the details of the BGTW Gala Awards Dinner 2024. This year’s dinner will be held on Monday 4 November, the eve of WTM, at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in central London from 6pm to 11pm.
The theme this year is The Great Gatsby and the venue fits this perfectly. Built in 1926 as the South Ballroom for The Liverpool Friendly Society, The London Cabaret Club now produces evening themed performances in a great setting. And the show for November and December? The Great Gatsby.
One of the highlights of the travel industry, the BGTW Gala Awards Dinner is a great networking event, bringing together some 250 ambassadors, ministers of state for tourism, PRs, BGTW members along with national and international editors, journalists and bloggers.
We announce our Awards: Members’ Awards for outstanding writing, photography, blogging and broadcasting published in mainstream national and international media and online.
We also announce our International Tourism Awards nominated by our members. The list is always fascinating and eye-opening, ranging from Dundreggan Rewilding Centre in Inverness to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Centre in Arras, France, from The Pekoe Trail in Sri Lanka to Flugt – Refugee Museum of Denmark. It’s the chance for our members to bring often small, little known sights, trails and local initiatives to an international audience. Our nominations have far-reaching effects with much needed publicity.
We are now selling tickets to the BGTW Dinner. Tickets are £245 plus VAT which includes a Champagne Reception, 3-course dinner with wine, fabulous Great Gatsby entertainment, our awards ceremonies and an after-party bar.
This year we’re offering an early bird discount of 10% discount on tables of 10 valid until 30 August. Please contact BGTW Administrator, Charlotte Copeman, to request your tickets.
We hope to see many of you at the BGTW Gala Awards Dinner this year.
