2022 PREVIEW
Highlights from the 2020 Globes: singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor; Hearst UK’s £250,000 advertising giveaway; and film star Richard E Grant
The Globe Travel Awards recognise the best brands from across the sector for a range of different achievements, but there are three categories that sit apart from the others. These special awards highlight the efforts of individuals and companies that go above and beyond to help make the travel industry a better place – whether by being a source of support for colleagues and customers, an entrepreneur driving innovation, or a stalwart of the sector who has dedicated their working life to building successful travel businesses.
Q The Penny Akam Unsung Hero Award Sponsored by Affordable Car Hire
This award pays tribute to those who work to improve the lives of those around them in both big and small ways. That could be a member of the back office team who goes the extra mile to support their colleagues, someone who has made extraordinary efforts to help their local community during this time, or a charity fundraiser who has made a difference to a worthy cause. Nominate now: To nominate a deserving candidate for the Penny Akam Unsung Hero Award, go to
globetravelawards.co.uk before the closing date of December 10.
Q The Innovation in Travel Award Sponsored by Biblio Travel
This award is open to individuals and companies who have found a new and improved way of doing business. This could be a technological innovation, a solution to a business problem that has increased efficiency or streamlined processes, or a groundbreaking idea that has had a clear and measurable impact on the industry. Nominate now: UK-based companies and individuals can put themselves forward for the Innovation in Travel Award by going to
globetravelawards.co.uk before December 10.
Q The Outstanding Achievement Award Sponsored by Avis
The ultimate accolade goes to an exceptional individual whose contribution to travel truly stands out. Past recipients have included Abta’s Alistair Rowland,
Jet2.com’s Steve Heapy, Celebrity Cruises’ Jo Rzymowska, Sunvil’s Noel Josephides and travel industry photographer Steve Dunlop. The winner is chosen by a panel of expert judges and will be announced at the Globe Travel Awards on January 13, 2022, so follow @travelweekly on Twitter that evening or log on to
