We are thrilled to announce entries are now open for the 2026 New Zealand Tourism Awards, showcasing and celebrating the tourism industry’s individual and business successes!  

This year there are 14 awards. Three acknowledge individuals who are outstanding performers in the industry, and eleven awards recognise businesses which display excellence, industry alignment and are living the values of the Tourism Sustainability Commitment (TSC). The winners will be announced at the New Zealand Tourism Awards Dinner being held on Wednesday 4 November, following Tourism Summit Aotearoa.
