In the section of Business Awards and Wine Tourism: A Source, Spur and Transfer of Innovation, the Wine Travel Awards are mentioned as an example of awards in the wine tourism industry. The practice of business awards has been applied in the tourism field for a long time. Usually, the organizers are related to tourism governmental structures, destination organisations, tourism industry bodies and associations. The wine tourism industry is not an exception from this trend. Wine tourism awards are established at both local and international levels and have different formats. Here, WTA definitely stands out for its hybrid advertising media approach and flexible marketing programs that do not lose their relevance today. Moreover, it is one of those rare cases where the goal is to reunite different operators of the industry into one community.
