CONSUMER OPINION IS ESSENTIAL

The Travel Retail Awards, the industry’s only global consumer-voted awards, was launched in 2018 and has since grown in popularity  thanks to the all-important consumer endorsement and recognition.

Organised in partnership with leading Swiss research agency m1nd-set, the nominations are evaluated by a panel of more than 5,000 travelling shoppers sourced from m1nd-set’s unique international database. A panel of expert bloggers and vloggers also evaluate each product entry.

More information on the judging methodology can be found on the judging website of the Travel Retail Awards website judging section here.

Following on from TRBusiness’ commitment to driving the industry’s sustainability agenda, the 2021 Global Travel Retail Awards features two new sustainability focused awards.

The ‘Best Sustainable Airport, Airline and Cruise Retail’ submissions, which will be free of charge, is for airports, airlines and cruise companies and their respective retailer or F&B partners only.

Suppliers can submit their socially responsible and environmentally friendly products in the new product award category: ‘Best Sustainable Supplier’ award.
