Winner of Best Overall Product in the 2023 Global Travel Retail Awards.

Global Travel Retail Awards Finalists now have two chances of being invited up onto the stage to collect a new-look trophy at this year’s awards ceremony in Cannes (1 October).

For the first time, TRBusiness and event partner m1nd-set are introducing trophies for those earning Highly Recommended status, which recognises entries that have come within a fraction of the winning score.

Following a rundown of the Finalists, those who have earned Highly Recommended accolades will be revealed.

Company representatives will be invited to stride along the red carpet and ascend the stage to collect their trophy from TRBusiness’ Managing Editor Faye Bartle, who is once again presenting year’s ceremony.

Following a quick photo opportunity, the Winner will be revealed and, likewise, invited up to the stage to take their turn in the spotlight.

Brand-new trophies

Adding to the excitement is news that the trophies have a new look this year.

The signature shopping bag design has been given a dazzling makeover, featuring an engraved brushed silver face, with a black recycled acrylic base and bag handle detail designed to be carried with pride.

We encourage all those receiving trophies this year to display them prominently on their stands in Cannes.

Prior to this TRBusiness will be distributing recognition boards to all Finalists on the ground on Monday 30 October. We encourage you to share your photos on LinkedIn using the hashtag #TravelRetailAwards.

Single tickets are priced at £363 GBP (ex-VAT) and tables of 10 priced at £3,190 GBP (per table ex-VAT).
