New Zealand Tourism Awards 2026

The New Zealand Tourism Awards celebrate individual and business success across our industry. Brought to you by Tourism Industry Aotearoa in association with key industry partners, the Awards provide a benchmark for excellence.  

For finalists and winners, the Awards can help raise the profile of your operation, enhance staff morale and provide recognition for your achievements from your industry peers.  

The winners will be announced at the New Zealand Tourism Awards Dinner on Wednesday 4 November at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, following Tourism Summit Aotearoa. 

As Christchurch is expected to be busy over these dates, we encourage delegates to book flights and accommodation early.
