The coveted Arabian Travel Awards will kick off on 25th November 2025 as an invitation only event recognising the visionaries transforming travel, tourism and hospitality across the Middle East. Now, in its 8th edition promises a powerful gathering of leaders, disruptors, and unsung heroes from across the region. At its core, the Arabian Travel Awards has always been about people. The dreamers, doers, and disruptors who’ve reimagined what travel can be. This year, as the Middle East cements its place as a global tourism powerhouse, the awards return with deeper purpose and stronger emotion. It’s not just another event, it’s a tribute to resilience, innovation, and the sheer will to keep going in an industry that never sits still. Each year, the awards recognise those who shape the way we experience the world, whether it’s a travel advisor who’s earned the trust of thousands, a portal that makes booking easier, or a hotel that redefines hospitality. San Jeet, Mentor, Arabian Travel Awards, shares, “These awards are not about fame. They’re about impact. They honour those who show up, step up, and bring change, no matter the odds. And that’s what makes them special.”
Winners are chosen through a transparent, digital voting process. The 2025 edition will present honours across Personal, Business, Trending, and Partner categories, each spotlighting a different kind of contribution, but all equally powerful. And while the voting has begun, the call for nominations is still open. From Best City Hotel to Best B2B Travel Portal, this is the moment to put forward the names that deserve to be celebrated.
