The North India Travel Awards were organized by India’s leading travel publishers, Durga Das Publications Ltd with the aim of creating an all-India platform to recognise those behind the success of the travel and tourism industry. The awards include 52 categories and are supported by the Government of India’s Ministry of Tourism and a wide range of respected trade bodies, including IATO, PATA, ADTOI, ATOAI and OTOAI.
