Last week, more than 300 hospitality trainers and industry professionals from across Australia came together to celebrate their achievements at the Tourism Training Australia 2021 Annual President's Dinner and Awards Celebration.

Present on the night were representatives from the broad membership of Tourism Training Australia, including a large number of training partners from industry, universities, industry associations, government, unions, public and private training providers.

A prestigious awards night that has now been running for over three decades, this annual event recognises and celebrates the hard work and accomplishments of those who teach the next generation of future leaders in the tourism and hospitality sectors.

This year, a panel of judges selected winners from a huge pool of talented nominees across nine different categories:

  • Trainer in the area of Commercial Cookery
  • Trainer in the area of Asian Cookery
  • Trainer in the area of Patisserie
  • Trainer in the area of Hospitality Management
  • Trainer in the area of Food and Beverage
  • Trainer in the area of Event Management
  • Innovation Training Initiative
  • Trainer in the area of Travel and Tourism
  • Foodservice Outlet

In addition to the awards, one nominee each year is selected to be the recipient of the renowned William R Galvin Memorial Scholarship.

In memory of the late William (Bill) Galvin OAM, who passed away in 2018 after a life dedicated to the Australian tourism and hospitality industry, the scholarship assists hospitality and tourism students in furthering their training. This year, it was presented to TAFE student Tom Hawthorne by Elizabeth Galvin in her late husband’s honour.
