Voting Extended for ITAA’s Irish Travel Industry Awards

The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) has announced that voting in its Irish Travel Industry Awards has been extended to January 6 (this coming Friday).

The awards take place on January 26 at the Mansion House, Dublin.

Last month, the ITAA announced the opening of voting and unveiled MSC Cruises as the headline sponsor for this year’s event – the first time the awards have been held since 2020.

Speaking last month at the launch, Pat Dawson, CEO of the ITAA, commented“We are really looking forward to the awards. We haven’t had the opportunity to honour the hard work done by ITAA members and suppliers to keep the industry afloat during the pandemic. It is important that our appreciation is shown and nominees are valued. We have missed the awards; they are a highlight in the industry’s calendar for travel agents and suppliers alike.”
