Companies that exemplify the best in travel have been selected and conferred awards through an extensive online voting exercise held from 16 to 30 October 2024.&nbsp;

Organised by TripZilla, the independent and leading online travel media in Southeast Asia that reaches more than 20 million travellers monthly, the Awards recognise the popularity, achievement, and dedication of top consumer-facing brands in travel.&nbsp;
