REVEALED: All the Travel Awards winners for 2019!

The travel industry’s best and brightest were recognised, honoured and celebrated at The Travel Awards 2019 on Friday night.

More than 600 industry professionals put on their glad rags and made their way to The Venue in the Sydney suburb of Alexandria, where a teal carpet and champagne was waiting for them on arrival, courtesy of the awards’ principal partner, Crystal.

After posing for a few snaps in front of the media wall and exchanging pleasantries, it was time for guests to sit down and enjoy a three-course meal, plenty of booze and the antics of The Chaser’s Andrew Hansen and Chris Taylor, who were hosts of the grand event.

A total of 37 trophies were handed at the awards, and just to give you an idea of the level of competition, Travel Weekly (organiser of the event and sister publication of The Nibbler) received more than 400 entries this year (see who made The Travel Awards shortlist here).
