byDaniel McCarthy/
The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) has opened applications for its 2022 Entrepreneur of the Year Award, one of ASTA’s premier annual honors.
The award was first established in 2015 by Dan and Gloria Bohan Foundation to promote entrepreneurial spirit in the travel and hospital industry and, after a two-year absence, is back this year.
该奖项为旅行顾问,代理商所有者,旅行技术初创企业,供应商以及更多机会提供了一个可以“改变旅行格局”的想法,并获得10,000美元的现金奖励。
Nominees are graded on eight benchmarks—sustainability in the industry, evolution, experiential travel, proven impact, curation, marketing, growth, and technology. Afull description of the criteria, including details on each of those eight benchmarks, is available here.
All applications are due by June 30. Each application requires a narrative statement of, at most, 500 words, along with a video, of no more than five minutes in length, describing the product or service that the contestant is pitching.
The applications will be graded by a selection committee of season travel industry professionals chosen by ASTA and the Dan and Gloria Bohan Foundation.
All applicants must also certify that they’ll be able to participate in ASTA’s Facebook Live event on July 27 should they be selected as one of the five semifinalists, and then on center stage at ASTA’s Global Convention in San Francisco on August 24 through 26, should they be selected as one of three finalists.
大结局在ASTA的全球大会上,对观众进行了五分钟的投球,然后进行了Q和A会议,内容涉及该概念的力量,劣势和创新。
Previous winners include Ashley Metesh-McCoy of Kinship Vacations and David Chait of Travefy.
