The awards programme recognised businesses transforming travel through technology, distinctive guest experiences, and forward-thinking initiatives.
Travel and hospitality businesses in Asia are finding new ways to meet changing traveller needs. From digital tools that simplify travel planning to hotel concepts that create more meaningful stays, these developments are reshaping how people discover destinations and experience their journeys.
The Travel Daily Media Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 - Asia recognised companies putting these ideas into practice, celebrating initiatives that demonstrate how innovation, service, and creativity can create value for travellers and the wider industry.
The awards brought together achievements from across hotels, airlines, airports, cruise lines, tour operators, travel agencies, booking platforms, and travel technology. Other recognised initiatives highlighted the breadth of progress across the region.
From hospitality concepts that combine distinctive design with guest experiences to technology solutions addressing operational challenges, the awardees demonstrated how businesses can respond to evolving expectations whilst strengthening their market position.
Presented by Travel Daily Media, the awards programme commended these achievements at the ceremony held on 10 November 2026 at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore.
The entries were assessed by an independent panel of industry experts comprising Florian Kittler, Managing Partner and Global Practice Leader – Hospitality, Travel & Leisure, Cornerstone International Group; Eric Levy, Managing Director, Tourism Solutions International; and Matt Gebbie, Managing Director, Pacific Asia, Horwath HTL.
Congratulations to all the winners for their contributions to travel and hospitality across Asia!
