About DTA

After struggling against Covid-19 for three years, the travel industry is on its track to recovery and starts booming again. The traditional travel eco-system has been overturned. New ideas, new mindsets and new methods are needed for the industry to usher in a new chapter.

Innovations deserve recognition. Since its inauguration, Digital Travel Awards (DTA) has been exploring new possibilities and expanding the boundaries of the travel industry by working with tourism bureaus, OTAs, tourist attractions, theme parks, hotels, travel tech companies and more.

It is with such original aspirations that TravelDaily China has launched a new round of creative cases collection.

We hope to share the best practices with industry professionals and help them navigate business transitions.
