💛 It’s that time again, friends! 💛
Every year when awards season rolls around, I’m touched by how many of you ask me, “How can we vote for you?” 💛 Well… this is it!
For the third year running, News Corp Australia is teaming up with ATIA to celebrate the best of Aussie travel through the NTIA People’s Choice Awards. This year, the spotlight is even brighter, with national coverage – reaching millions of travellers every month.
This award celebrates the value of booking with an ATIA-accredited travel business – those of us who pour our heart into creating trips that are safe, seamless, and truly unforgettable. It’s about recognising the travel professionals who go the extra mile, not just when things go to plan, but especially when life throws in the unexpected.
And here’s where you come in… The People’s Choice Awards are now open – and I’d be so grateful if you cast your vote for:
