SYDNEY, 24 November 2023: Australia’s National Travel Industry Awards (NTIAs) 2023 celebrated the industry’s success, recognising the people in travel that made recovery happen post-pandemic.
Supported by major Sponsor Singapore Airlines, over 1,300 travel professionals and businesses attended last week’s awards presentation.
ATIA CEO Dean Long commented: “The NTIAs 2023 was truly a night to remember. This is in no small part due to the high calibre of entries we received and the exemplary standard of travel professionals and businesses all throughout Australia.”
“It was so exciting to return to Melbourne this year and to be able to celebrate with all of the incredible travel professionals that make our industry so special.
“Events of the scale the NTIAs 2023 celebration do not just happen, and on behalf of everyone, I thank the hardworking ATIA team and the generous support of our sponsors for helping us realise our vision for this event.
“Our vibrant travel community is our greatest strength, and through events like the NTIA we will continue our focus on harnessing the skills and expertise across our network to benefit our industry, our clients and our businesses.”
