Voting may have closed, but this action-packed program has more coming your way

Luxury Travel’s Gold List Awards is back and ready to cast an appraising eye over industry stalwarts and newcomers in a bid to crown travel’s best of the best. In 2023, the returning program saw hundreds of entrants across a comprehensive 21 categories, covering  best hotel design to best regenerative tourism experience and everything in between. Both behemoths of the travel industry and boutique, independent brands have entered the program this year, the only prerequisite being a commitment to truly exceptional travel.

Entries flooded in from all corners of theglobe this year, all having made  their own unique contribution to the world of luxury travel. Many also focused on increasing sustainability outcomes, tapping into the “slow travel” movement and coming out of the pandemic era with a renewed focus on curating outstanding guest experiences. 

Throughout it all, our program sponsors have been pivotal to ensuring the Gold List Awards will be one to remember, showing their support to an industry that is founded on connectivity, community and making memories. From our Platinum Partner Hästens, Gold Partner Parisi and Silver Partners Discover Aboriginal Experiences and Sunraysia, their support has allowed the program to recognise the industry’s leading talents.

What’s next?

With entries, shortlisting and reader voting all behind us, we now turn towards the final stages of the program, with all roads leading to the Winner Reveal Party. 

This week, our jurors will be meeting for their final deliberation, where their expertise will combine with the results of the reader’s votes to determine the 2023 cohort of winners. The results of that final deliberation will then be revealed at our much anticipated Winner Reveal Party.

Held on the 29th November 2023, the Winner Reveal Party will be the climax of this year’s Luxury Travel Gold List Awards, with the sumptuous affair set to be a fitting end to Luxury Travel’s quest for the best. 

With so much still to come, the Gold List is just getting started.
