More than 120 young people stepped forward for this year’s initiative, which is supported by headline partner Tui, as well as the Institute of Travel and Tourism, the Association of Women Travel Executives and the online Rise Academy.

Following applications and nominations from across the industry, a strict judging process then whittled down the applicants to the final group of 30.

The TTG 30 Under 30 has been named every year since 2012, celebrating the 30 individuals in travel and tourism most likely to be the future leaders of the industry.

Former members have included Gold Medal Managing Director Simon Applebaum and Latin Routes Co-Founder Jess Dennison, as well as Tui Marketing & Sales Director Bart Quinton-Smith.

The new group will now be invited to a series of networking events throughout the year including dinners with inspirational speakers, as well as other benefits.

Daniel Pearce, TTG Media Chief Executive, said: "We are incredibly proud of the 30 Under 30 community and all its generations, and it was exciting to meet this latest group at our first event last week, to hear more about their personal stories and let them know what we have in store for them.”
