NEVER TOO MUCH
ABOUT
WOMEN
IN TRAVEL
The much-anticipated Travel Weekly Women in Travel Awards are back for 2026. Now in their ninth year, these leading awards are a showcase for all women who work in the Australian travel industry.
They are open to women at all levels of their career, entrants just need to be able to demonstrate excellence, dedication to the travel industry, and commitment to equality or be nominated by someone who believes strongly that they have these qualities.
New categories include Travel Advisor of the Year, Unsung Hero and we have also updated the BDM and Reservations Manager / Executive of the Year. Winners will be announced at our exclusive awards ceremony taking place on Wednesday, 2 December 2026, at The Ivy, George St, Sydney.
Our 2026 Women in Travel Power List and Woman of the Year will also be announced.
When you enter Women in Travel, you are not just entering awards, you are joining a community of women committed to change.
