Now in their fourth year of generous sponsorship by Nespresso, the Gourmet Traveller Travel Awards take this annual opportunity to pay credit where it’s due in the travel industry. Supported by the country’s best television travel program, Getaway, these awards are Australia’s premier salute to tourism’s finest [see the full list of this year's winners here].

We use the most comprehensive methodology to pick our winners, starting with an expert panel of professional travel writers, editors, photographers and industry experts who cast their votes in 12 award categories. Their responses are whittled down to a shortlist of four finalists in each class, after which we open voting to you, our readers, and to Getaway viewers. Last year more than 33,000 votes were cast, and this year we’re hoping for even more.

Online voting is live from Monday, 29 March until midnight, Tuesday, 4 May, so get ready, set and vote for Australia’s finest holiday experiences. Look out also for our Travel Awards promotions on Getaway on Channel Nine, Thursdays at 7.30pm. Award-winners will be announced in a special section of our June issue.

One last thing: while you’re voting, please take a moment to share with us your best travel tip – we’d love to hear that little piece of wisdom you’ve picked up along the way.

Voting is now over. Click below to find out who you've chosen to win this year's Australian Gourmet Traveller Travel Awards!
