Times Travel Academy will, on one hand, be the facilitator for the travel and tourism industry, and on the other, felicitate path breaking initiatives and achievements.

Though a number of initiatives are on the anvil, Academy would initially have three key initiatives on its agenda:

Times Travel Honours

Times Travel Honours, an annual celebration of excellence in travel and tourism industry would be the foremost travel awards in India.

The key differentiator of the Times Travel Honours is the Times Travel Academy, a body of over 100 CXO suite persons from leading travel companies in India, who will determine winners in each category.

Round tables:

The Times Travel Academy will conduct and participate in a series of round tables to discuss pressing issues of the Indian travel industry. The roundtables will act as a platform to connect experts from different fields of travel and tourism, to raise issues that are critical for better facilitation of the travel industry.

Research

Times Travel Academy will publish a number of research papers from time to time. It is also keen to publish research conducted by academy members and their organisations, as sharing of research data would benefit the entire industry.

In addition, online surveys would be conducted round the year, and their findings published on Timestravelacadamy.com.
