TripZillaThe results are in! TripZilla is proud to announce the winners of this year’s TripZilla Excellence Awards!
Now in its 8th year, the prestigious TripZilla Excellence Awards honours the finest travel brands for delivering the most brilliant experiences and propelling the industry to greater heights. As the leading online travel media in Southeast Asia that reaches more than 20 million travellers every month, TripZilla recognises the value of authentic endorsements as travel resumes in a post-Covid world.
Over a hundred outstanding travel brands were nominated for an award this year. After an intensive round of voting on the TripZilla.com platform, over 30 trailblazers were presented with this highly coveted accolade.
This year has seen the addition of a new category — Sustainability Leader of the Year, which reflects the desire of both the industry and travellers to build back better and reshape how we travel in a post-pandemic world.
Several first-time winners, namely Insight Vacations, airasia Super App, and Etiqa Insurance, have made their way into the TripZilla Excellence Awards 2022 while noteworthy repeat winners like AIRSIM, DBS Altitude Card, and Nam Ho Travel Service have once again made the list.
