About the awards

Editorially led.
Independent. Trusted.

The Travelling for Business Awards exist for one reason — to recognise the brands shaping the future of business travel, and to do it with the credibility the industry expects.

Our story

An awards programme born from an editorial brand.

The Travelling for Business Awards are produced by the team behind Travelling for Business — the rolling content website, daily newsletter and bi-monthly printed magazine read by the senior decision-makers, buyers and operators who run the global corporate travel programme.

That editorial heritage shapes how the awards are run. Categories are defined by what matters to the industry, not by what is easy to sell. Judging is led by the editorial team. And winners are amplified across every Travelling for Business platform — long after the night itself.

What we stand for

Four principles that define this programme.

01

Editorial independence

Not pay-to-play

Sponsorship does not buy a win. Sponsors align with categories — winners are decided on merit, by the editorial team.

02

Senior audience only

Decision-makers in the room

Curated guest list — no filler, no free seats. Every conversation at the gala is commercial and senior.

03

True industry benchmarks

Categories that mean something

From airlines to airports, hotels to apps — the categories are defined by what the industry actually cares about.

04

Influence beyond the room

Year-round amplification

Coverage across the Travelling for Business brand — website, newsletter and magazine — for twelve months after the night.

"These are the awards your category is expected to support. Editorial credibility built over years — distilled into one night that defines the industry's year." — Richard Alvin, Programme Director
