We are thrilled to welcome you to The Best of Tourism Awards 2026, our fifth annual gala and awards night, set to be our biggest and most impactful celebration yet. Bringing together the very best in the tourism and accommodation industry, this landmark event promises an unforgettable evening of recognition, connection, and celebration on an even larger scale than previous years.
In 2026, the event continues its strong growth trajectory, with more coverage, more attendees, and significantly increased industry engagement. Interest is already building across both domestic and New Zealand partners, further elevating the profile and reach of this year’s awards and reinforcing its position as a must-attend industry event.
Hosted by Resly, the awards honour excellence across a diverse range of categories, from visionary businesses and standout newcomers to inspiring leaders and community champions. Each award represents a story of resilience, innovation, and meaningful impact within our dynamic industry.
More than just an awards night, this event is a chance to be part of a thriving community, foster valuable relationships, and align with a purpose-driven initiative. In addition, $10 from every ticket sold will be donated to beneficiaries - The Tara Brown Foundation and the RBWH WeCU Family Care Program, helping to support families and individuals during some of life’s most challenging moments.
Join us for a milestone year as the tourism industry comes together to celebrate the best of the best, on a bigger stage than ever before.
