What to expect at the 2022 TPG Awards — and how you can secure your spot
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.

Here's what you can expect at this year's TPG Awards.
TPG Awards party
Taking place at Terminal 5 in Manhattan, attendees of this year's TPG Awards can expect an immersive experience celebrating the travel and loyalty industries. Rub elbows with industry change-makers while you enjoy delicious passed hors d'oeuvres inspired by cuisine from around the world. Or, sample specialty cocktails at the all-night open bar as you engage with installations like photo booths and interactive lounges.
We'll conduct surprise travel giveaways throughout the event, and all attendees will leave with a gift bag of swag to enjoy at home. And DJ Lina Bradford will keep the festivities going long after the last award is handed out at the after-party.
Speaking of awards, we have a full slate of trophies set to be announced during the event — including our 15 Readers' Choice categories. If you haven't already weighed in on which nominees should win, be sure to cast your vote soon, as the ballot is set to close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11.
We're also excited to have Lonely Planet (owned by TPG's parent company, Red Ventures) at this year's awards to highlight its popular franchise, Best in Travel — sure to inspire every traveler's wanderlust.
