Tickets to the 2026 National Travel Industry Awards have sold out ahead of the gala at the Palladium at Crown Melbourne on Saturday 10 October, following a record year with more than 21,000 votes cast and the highest number of nominations to date.
Winners to be named across 39 categories
The gala, presented by the Australian Travel Industry Association, anchors a weekend of trade events in Melbourne. The Beyond Borders Travel Summit runs at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Friday 9 October, followed that evening by the Viking NTIA Finalist Celebration at Aerial Melbourne, with the ATIA Wellness 5K opening Saturday’s program at parkrun Albert Park.
ATIA chief executive Dean Long said the sell-out reflected strong industry engagement following a demanding year.
“Selling out tells you exactly where the industry is at: people want to be in the room to back their colleagues and celebrate a year of hard work,” Long said.
Sponsor line-up includes five-year Singapore Airlines partnership
Singapore Airlines returns as Major Sponsor for a fifth consecutive year, with TTC Tour Brands’ Trafalgar as Arrival Sponsor, Virgin Australia as MC Sponsor, Helloworld Travel sponsoring Gala entertainment, and CVFR Travel Group as official Afterparty Sponsor. Viking returns as sponsor of the Finalist Celebration.
Tickets for the Beyond Borders Travel Summit remain available separately from the sold-out gala.
