AFTA have released the nominees for the 2010 National Travel Industry Awards with more than 300 agencies and suppliers nominated across 27 categories.
Among the nominees in the supplier categories, Virgin Blue and Qantas are in the running for Best Domestic Airline while 18 other airlines including Emirates, Singapore Airlines and V Australia are competing for Best Airline International Online.
Six travel agency groups including Concorde Agency Network, Harvey World Travel and Jetset Travelworld Group have also been nominated in the agency category of Best Travel Agency Group (100 outlets or more).
e-Travel Blackboard is also incredibly ecstatic about the NTIA this year as our very own Deputy Editor Wendy Xia has been nominated among eight others in the Best Travel Writer category.
“The entire e-Travel Blackboard team is very proud of Wendy’s nomination,” said Anthony Valeriano, e-Travel Blackboard General Manager.
“She is our Deputy Editor and it's fantastic her work has been recognised by AFTA.”
“I am excited to have been nominated for a National Travel Industry Award this year,” said Wendy Xia, e-Travel Blackboard Deputy Editor.
“It is humbling to be recognised for doing something that I’m passionate about every day.”
Agents and suppliers are now able to vote for NTIA nominees, with voting to close at 5.00pm on Friday 30 April.
AFTA said finalists would be notified by Friday 14 May while the winners will be announced at the Gala Dinner on 10 July at The Westin, Sydney.
