The 9th Edition of the South Asian Travel Awards is conducting evaluations in Dhaka, with focus on Bangladeshi nominees. The assessment process began in Colombo and has progressed through Bengaluru, New Delhi, Kathmandu, and Paro, with the Maldives hosting the final evaluation stage.

A distinguishing feature of SATA is that nominees are not required to pay any fees for their nominations. Instead, participants undergo a thorough presentation and evaluation procedure.

The program receives backing from over 18 travel and tourism organizations, including national tourism boards throughout South Asia. The 2025 gala ceremony will occur in Sri Lanka on September 19th and 20th.
