The TPG Awards are back. Our end-of-the-year event celebrates the best of the travel and loyalty industries as voted on by our readers, writers and editors. The winning brands are those that stand out — from credit cards to airlines to hotel chains to cruise lines.

And because this is our first in-person awards ceremony in three years, we're doing it bigger — and for the first time, we're including readers in the soiree.

Join us Wednesday, Dec. 7, as we recognize the brands and individuals in the travel industry who stood tall this year as we look ahead to another incredible year of travel in 2023.
