The PATA Gold Awards continue to honour outstanding achievements in the travel and tourism industry across the Asia Pacific region.
Since their inception in 1984, the PATA Grand and Gold Award-winning projects have set benchmarks for excellence and innovation, inspiring industry professionals to strive for the highest standards.
The Award undergoes annual revisions to reflect the industry’s progress and advancements. As a result, this year will present two Grand Grand Title Winners for the best-of-show entries in the categories of Marketing and Sustainability & Social Responsibility, with a total of 27 Gold Awards to be presented within.
All award recipients will be celebrated at the PATA Gold Awards 2026 Gala Dinner held in conjunction with PATA Travel Mart 2026 in Sarawak. The winning entries will also be showcased at the Mart, providing significant exposure to all delegates.
Winning a PATA Gold Award serves as a major accolade, enhancing an organisation’s marketing and public relations profile. Awardees will be featured in the PATA Newsletter and will benefit from extensive international media exposure through press releases and other promotional avenues.
Furthermore, all winners will receive a complimentary copy of the PATA Gold Awards 2026 winners’ showcase e-booklet, which highlights the achievements of each winning entry.
