2017 NTIA Nominees revealed

2017 NTIA Nominees revealed

It’s that time of year again, when you find out who your true friends are – or make new ones in a bid to secure a spot as a finalist!

The AFTA list of 2017 National Travel Industry Award (NTIA) nominees are out – did you make the cut?

Who’s in the running? Check out the full list of nominees here.

According to AFTA, a new record of 1076 nominations were received across the 38 award categories, and are urging the industry to “get behind their nominated travel agent or supplier and give them the support they need as they proceed through to the rigorous process of voting and judging”.

Popular nominee categories this year were the Best Travel Agency categories, Best Sales Executive Industry Supplier, Best Agency Support Service, Best Specialty Wholesaler and Best Travel Writer – Consumer (so that rules out TW as we’re only trade press).

Voting doesn’t begin until tomorrow, 14 March at 9am (AEDT) so for nominees out there, we recommend spending the rest of the day basking in what could be, short lived glory.

Finalists for the 2017 NTIA’s will be revealed on 4 May 2017.
