The 2024 Luxury Travel Gold List Awards are back to celebrate the best in global luxury travel
The 2024 Luxury Travel Gold List Awards are now open for submissions until 30 May. The Gold List Awards recognise the most outstanding luxury travel experiences in Australia and around the world, and shines a spotlight on the evolving desires of the luxury traveller to experience destinations responsibly and sustainably.
This year’s awards feature 26 distinguished categories, including several new and revised ones, to reflect the dynamic landscape of luxury travel. One revision to the award categories is the expansion of the Boutique Hotel, Resort or Lodge award. In 2024 there will now be two inclusive categories to cater to properties with less than 25 rooms and those with 26-50 rooms. Other changes to award categories provide a more distinct focus on the local Australian market. These categories are designed to showcase the best in innovation, sustainability, and excellence across the luxury travel sector.
