Awards Semi-Finalists Announced
Announcing the 2025 Global Culinary Travel Awards Semi-Finalists
The Global Culinary Travel Awards continue to celebrate excellence in culinary heritage, innovation, and authenticity in food tourism. With the introduction of new award categories this year, the response from the global community has been overwhelmingly positive. The overall quality of submissions highlights the passion and dedication found across the industry.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, the panel of judges has selected up to three semi-finalists per category. In instances where fewer than three are listed, the judges determined that the remaining entries did not meet the required standard for semi-finalist recognition. Semi-finalists are listed below in alphabetical order. Some organizations appear in multiple categories, indicating separate entries submitted for each.
The winners will be announced publicly on May 31, 2025. Award recipients will be contacted in advance to allow time for preparation. An online press conference will follow once trophies have been shipped to the winners. Media representatives, judges, and the four winners will be invited to attend.
To those who were not selected as semi-finalists this year, we extend our sincere appreciation for your efforts. Many outstanding applications were received, and personalized feedback from the judges will be shared in the coming days to support future submissions.
