The jubilee edition of TOURISM 365 introduces the first international awards recognising excellence in tourism development.
The jubilee edition of TOURISM 365 brings the first T365 Excellence Awards; international professional recognitions for the people, destinations, companies and projects already showing how tourism can create greater value for the economy, local communities and guests. The first international call received applications from 12 countries, and the organisers are grateful to all destinations, organisations, companies, institutions and teams who submitted their projects, sharing ideas, initiatives and practices that are already shaping the future of tourism.
About the Award
To mark the conference’s 10th anniversary, TOURISM 365 introduces this special recognition across five categories: Destination Vision, Experience, Innovation in Tourism, Best Practice, and Marketing & Communication Excellence. This recognition is celebrating destinations, projects and campaigns driving year-round, sustainable and high-value tourism. Among the category winners, the jury will also select the T365 Grand Honour, the highest recognition awarded at the jury’s discretion to the entry that best sets a new benchmark for the sector.
Meet the International Jury
With applications now closed, it’s time for the jury. All submitted applications will be reviewed by an international panel of experts in tourism, destination management, business, hospitality, marketing, innovation and year-round tourism development. The T365 Excellence Awards jury includes: Peter E. Pincus, Ivana Kolar, Ged Brown, Lilla Harangozó, Petar Pavić, Ivana Budin Arhanić and Maro Pitarević.
Their task is not only to evaluate projects, but to recognise the people, places and ideas that are moving tourism forward, towards more year-round, sustainable and high-value development.
What’s Next?
The shortlist will be announced on 25 September 2026. Winners will be revealed at the T365 Excellence Awards Night & Celebration, taking place on the 6th of October 2026 in Zagreb, as part of the 10th anniversary edition of the TOURISM 365 Conference.
