✓ Free to nominate · No nomination fee · No registration fee
Hotels, resorts, travel companies and tourism businesses based in Italy have recorded 184 nominations in the International Travel Awards between 2018 and 2026, across 9 award years. 87 of those entries went on to be recorded as winners — roughly 47 in every 100 nominations received from the country.
Participation is concentrated in Hotels & Resorts (139 nominations) and Travel & Tourism (42), which together account for the large majority of Italy entries on record. Across the nine editions the awards team has recorded 79 distinct award categories against Italy nominations, reflecting how finely the programme segments hotel, resort and travel-operator recognition rather than a single national prize.
The record below is published directly from the awards system. It is a participation history, not a ranking: entries are listed because they were nominated or recorded as winners in a given year, and no position, score or rating is implied.

Official website ↗Nominations are open to hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, travel agencies, tour operators, destination management companies and other tourism businesses operating in Italy. A nomination may be submitted by the organisation itself or on its behalf.
Participation does not guarantee a win, media coverage, search ranking or commercial outcome, and nothing on this page should be read as implying otherwise.
A nomination is submitted for a specific category and award year. Entries are reviewed by the awards team, assessed, and winners are then confirmed and recorded against that year. Once a winning category is recorded against an entry, that entry becomes part of the published winner record — which is exactly the data this page counts. An organisation can hold records in more than one category or year, and each is assessed separately.
The published process, including who assesses entries and how outcomes are confirmed, is set out in full on the judging process page. Fee information is kept separately on the fee / cost page so that neither page restates the other.
Any hotel, resort, serviced-apartment operator, travel agency, tour operator, destination management company or wider tourism business operating in Italy can submit a nomination. Nominations may be submitted by the business itself or on its behalf. Start a nomination.
