outlook Traveller awards
The Outlook Traveller Awards have been the gold standard in the travel and tourism industry since 2001, recognising excellence, innovation, and leadership across the sector.
In 2025, the spirit of travel is being redefined by a new generation. Today’s explorers are not just crossing borders—they are discovering the world within India itself, from mountain homestays and coastal escapes to wellness retreats, food trails, and hidden cultural gems. The awards celebrate destinations, stays, creators, and initiatives that prove you don’t need to go far when India has it all.
Alongside this, the awards continue to recognise international destinations, but with a sharper consumer lens. This year, the focus is on countries that are actively courting Indian travellers, valuing their presence, and tailoring experiences to India’s growing influence and spending power. In this way, the awards spotlight both the world within India and the world that welcomes India.
Join us this November for an evening of celebration, conversation, and discovery—with thought-provoking panels, fireside chats, live performances, and the unveiling of winners across domestic, popular choice, and international categories. Together, we celebrate how India is both the journey and the destination, and how Indian travellers are reshaping the global tourism map.

FAQs
The Outlook Traveller Awards have been India's most respected recognition in travel and tourism since 2001. They honour destinations, stays, creators, and initiatives that redefine how India and the world travel.
This year's theme is “Celebrating India, Celebrated by the World.” It reflects how India is both the journey and the destination—the world within one country, and the traveller the world welcomes.
OLTA 2025 features 18 categories across Domestic, International, and Popular Choice segments, celebrating destinations, experiences, and voices that define how India travels today.
Entries are evaluated through a mix of expert jury deliberation and audience voting, supported by independent consumer research conducted by Toluna to ensure credibility and transparency.
The Outlook Traveller Awards 2025 will take place in November in New Delhi.
You may nominate yourself only for the Popular Choice Awards. For the Domestic and International categories, the longlist is curated internally through a thorough review process, and self-nominations are not accepted.
