This year, awards will be presented in 25 institutional and individual categories. Only nominees who submit applications will be considered, with winners selected by a panel of judges representing various professional and social groups, based on expert evaluation and online public voting.
Two special awards – Most Tourist-Friendly Foreign Destination and Most Popular Tourist Spot in Bangladesh – will be decided solely through public voting.
Organisers said BTTHA 2025 aims to honour organisations and individuals contributing to the development of Bangladesh's tourism ecosystem. Following the inaugural edition, the second edition is expected to feature broader industry participation and greater international visibility.
