So pop the champagne! Because if you’re on this list, you could be in with a real chance of winning a shiny trophy at the first ever Australian Travel Awards. And if that’s not some excellent news to end your week with, we don’t know what is.

You can find part one of the shortlist here and part two here, in case you’ve been in a coma for the past two days and missed the announcements.

This inaugural awards programme will recognise the achievements of the Aussie travel industry over the past year, and celebrate the individuals and companies that make it so damn amazing.

Oh, and it’s set to be the best industry end-of-year party around – perfect for celebrating a year of hard work with your fave industry pals.

You can read more about the awards right here, but for now, here’s what you’ve all been waiting for! This final instalment of the 2018 Australian Travel Awards shortlist includes 10 categories, so check part one and two for any categories you don’t see below.

For those who made the shortlist, double check your company name is correct before you dance for joy. No one wants a trophy with the wrong spelling on it. So for any and all changes, email Nicolle@travelweekly.com.au ASAP. And by ASAP, we mean by November 1.

Oh, and if you’re one of the lucky few on this list, you must buy a ticket to the event. And you’ll only be able to get early bird tickets until next week! So head here to grab those while you still can.

The Australian Travel Awards will be held on November 30 at Paddington Town Hall, Sydney. Find all other info on the website here.
