The award, part of CIM Travel Group’s Travel Marketing Awards, builds on the success of TTG’s Tomorrow’s Travel Leaders.
A panel including TTG Media managing director Daniel Pearce helped to compile the shortlist, which features: Lois Robertson, aviation marketing account manager, Manchester airport; Rebecca Derbyshire, social media adviser, Heathrow airport; and Will Weeks, head of content, Contiki.
The award, which will be presented on March 14, recognises young people who will lead travel marketing in the future.
The winner will be invited to join the judging panel for the 2018 awards.
Pearce said: “We were blown away by the calibre of the participants this year.”
