This year's confirmed category sponsors so far include Gail Kenny Executive Recruitment, HolidayPirates, HotelRunner, loveholidays, Trip.com and WEX.

The awards process will be open for under two months, with nominees having just eight weeks from launch date to get their submissions in, with it culminating in the awards night, taking place on Thursday November 26, 2026.

Kate Harden-England, Travolution editor, said: “Having had the privilege of experiencing this fantastic process end-to-end which goes from strength to strength every year, buoyed by the success of our industry's innovation.

“The Travolution awards showcases brands to the rest of the industry and in many cases has really been the catalyst to catapult them into new stratospheres which we're thrilled about. 

"Let this be the year, your brand thrives and picks up an award at our special night."

Unique in focusing on the companies, brands and individuals in the fields of digital travel like no other industry accolades, the night itself is one not to be missed.

The awards are judged by a panel of objective industry experts handpicked for their experience and knowledge of the industry who whittle entries down to shortlists before debating who should be the ultimate winner.

Some categories are decided in live pitch sessions, including the Rising Star of the Year award.
