Tourism Press Award

The Tourism Press Award is designed to honor outstanding tourism videos by engaging the perspective and expertise of tourism journalists. This unique award celebrates the symbiosis between the media and tourism industries, recognizing a video that resonates not only with travelers but also with the journalistic community.

How It Works

The videos submitted in the CIFFT Circuit through the CIFFT Entry Service will be evaluated by an international panel of travel journalists.

By combining the insights of journalists with the creativity of filmmakers, the award sets new standards for excellence.

Recognition at the World Tourism Film Awards

The best video, as determined by the jury, will be honored at the prestigious World Tourism Film Awards ceremony.

This recognition places your work alongside the World’s Best Tourism Films of the Year and the winner of the CIFFT “People’s Choice” Award competition.
