South Africa's premier Travel and Tourism Awards

Since 2013, the Lilizela Tourism Awards, launched by the Minister of Tourism, have been on a continuous journey to unearth excellence in the tourism sector.

We are shining the spotlight on our industry's top achievers, recognising and rewarding those businesses that are passionate and deliver world-class products and services.

These awards raise the bar on every aspect of tourism, making it a memorable experience through impeccable standards and conduct as we grow South Africa’s status as a competitive global destination.

We want to celebrate the very best of what we have to offer and recognise the efforts, commitment and dedication to crafting a distinctive South African encounter from when our guests set foot on our soil to their final sunset, overlooking the magnificent scenery in any of our 9 provinces.
