Golden Backpack Awards 2008

The winners of the Golden Backpack Awards, Australia and New Zealands only dedicated awards program for the independent travel sector, were announced at the gala dinner in Sydney.

Run by TNT Magazine, the market-leading publisher of backpacker titles, the Golden Backpacks saw a national campaign in print and at www.tntdownunder.com to gather votes from consumers in more than 30 categories. Backpackers voted for their favourite hostel, tour and backpacker night in every State and Territory in Australia and across the Tasman. National awards recognised tour operators, transport providers and hostel booking engines while the general category saw awards for best travel agent, recruitment service and training provider. Awards were also presented for innovation and outstanding achievement in the industry.

More than 11,000 votes were cast and the winners revealed on November 13 at a gala dinner hosted by Australian cricket icon Kerry OKeeffe.

The awards were sponsored by Tourism New South Wales, Tourism Tasmania, Tourism Victoria, The South Australian Tourism Commission, World Nomads Insurance, Tiger Airways, Sleepmaker, the Adventure Travel Trade Association, the Adventure Travel & Backpackers Expo, Backpacker Trade News and TNT Magazine.
