Nominations for the 2025 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards are now open!
Exciting Changes to the Australian Tourism Awards in 2025!
The Australian Tourism Awards are evolving, with exciting updates to the submission process set to take effect for the 2025 awards year. After a comprehensive review guided by industry feedback, the process has been streamlined to save time for entrants, while continuing to uphold the integrity and prestige of the awards.
“As the Australian Tourism Awards celebrate its 40th anniversary, these updates will modernise the submission process and reflect the current industry climate where tourism operators and their staff are focused on delivering world class experiences in a dynamic, changing industry”, said Shaun de Bruyn, Chair of the Australian Tourism Awards.
Key improvements include simplified and refined questions, a reduced word count (4,000–7,500 words, down from 10,000), and a guided format to assist entrants. These updates aim to make submissions more manageable and sustainable, allowing businesses to focus on showcasing their leadership, innovation, and achievements. Supported by Austrade’s Quality Tourism Framework Grant Program, these changes will be implemented nationally, ensuring entrants across Australia benefit from the enhanced process.
