The awards programme applauds the businesses and initiatives that elevate Malaysia’s travel and tourism industry.
Malaysia’s travel sector continues to evolve as businesses respond to changing traveller expectations and emerging technologies. Alongside this is the growing demand for seamless and personalised experiences, which have been driving industry players to find new ways to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a leading travel destination.
The TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 - Malaysia is opening this year with the goal of celebrating the organisations that are making a meaningful impact in the country’s travel and tourism landscape.
Recognising excellence across the travel value chain, the awards programme provides a platform where industry leaders can showcase their initiatives, whether digital transformation, unique travel offerings, operational improvements, strategic partnerships, or memorable guest experiences.
The awards welcome entries from airlines, airports, hotels, resorts, travel agencies, tour operators, destination management companies, cruise operators, tourism boards, and travel technology providers.
One of the previous winners whose innovation and adaptability created stronger connections with travellers was Resorts World Awana, which clinched the ESG Initiative of the Year award for its forward-thinking initiative Genting Nature Adventures (GNA).
“This award has been quite inspiring and will be inspiring us to continue our endeavour to create that balance in getting us between urbanisation and keeping the integrity intact,” said Eddie Chan, the company’s Environmental Service Manager, Resident Naturalist, and ESG Green Bonding Consultant.
As the industry enters a new phase of growth, the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 - Malaysia invites organisations to share the initiatives, services, and strategies that have set them apart in this competitive market.
Take this opportunity to gain industry-wide recognition and celebrate the accomplishments that have helped redefine travel experiences for customers in Malaysia and beyond! You may submit your entries as early as now, with entries accepted until 2 October 2026.
Join the community of travel leaders that will gather at the awards ceremony in November 2026.
