2023 NTIA Finalists in Individual Categories announced

This follows the announcement of the Finalists for the Industry Voted Categories (#21 – 31) on Tuesday.

Over the past few weeks, nominees for the 2023 NTIA Individual Categories have undergone submission assessment by university-level Independent Assessors.

ATIA would like to acknowledge the high calibre of submissions received this year. In general the top 5 nominees have proceeded to the finalist stage, based on overall score from the Assessors. In some categories where there have been tied scores, up to 9 finalists have been announced.

The Finalists for the Business Categories will be announced next week. 

The 2023 NTIAs will be held on the 18^th November at Crown Melbourne, and are supported by major sponsor Singapore Airlines, with the afterparty sponsored by Viking.    

The NTIA festivities will kick off the night before on Friday 17^th November, with a Networking function open to all at the InterContinental Melbourne. NTIA Finalists will have the opportunity to join us afterwards from an exclusive Finalist’s Event at Holey Moley Melbourne CBD, a chance to celebrate excellence within the industry.

Note: Due to the standard of submissions for the 2^nd category Travel Agency Manager, they have taken longer to score. The Finalists for this category will be announced on Monday 9 October.
