The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) has opened for nominations for supplier awards and member awards entries for the association’s annual awards in the New Year, which take place in the Round Room at Dublin’s Mansion House on January 23.

The Supplier Awards feature a number of categories spanning all areas of the travel industry including air travel, tour operators, cruise lines and ferry companies, agency services providers and destinations.

Once the nomination process has been completed, voting for the Supplier Awards will open on Friday, 6^th December 2024 to all licensed travel agents in the Republic of Ireland.

Angela Walsh, President of the ITAA, commented: “I would recommend all travel agents to encourage their staff’s participation in the nomination process for the Supplier Awards voting process and for all ITAA members to enter the Member Awards this year, to ensure all receive the recognition they richly deserve.” 

“Once nominations close, for the Supplier Awards, it is One Agency One Vote and I urge all Owner Managers to consult with your staff to choose your agency’s choice supplier in each category. We are looking for suppliers who excel in the quality of service and product.”

The entry process for ITAA Member Awards is also open from today. This is an application process with clearly defined marking criteria, followed by a video interview for the short-listed candidates. This process will be overseen by an independent judging panel of industry experts. Entry forms will be issued to all ITAA member Owner Managers. The ITAA Member Awards highlight the contribution of ITAA Travel Agents to the Irish travel industry.

Clare Dunne, CEO of the ITAA, said: “This year we are opening the supplier nomination process to all travel agency staff. It is the staff who work directly with the suppliers on a day to day basis who know what assists them in providing good customer service, whether it be product, service or price competitiveness. Your nomination is a really important first step to ensure that the awards are a true reflection of the very best in the Irish Travel Industry – please have your say and nominate today.”
