What is the Klook Pandemic Pivot Awards 2021?

The Klook Pandemic Pivot Awards 2021 celebrate the travel operators that have adapted to the uncertainty and unpredictable nature of the past 12 months (and more!).

Klook partners with hundreds of travel operators in Australia and has witnessed the hard work and agility that travel operators have put into pivoting with the market changes in 2021 and we want to take the opportunity to recognise that. From introducing new products and services, switching up their operations, to even adapting new tech capabilities - it has truly been a massive effort!

There will be a total of five winners selected by the Klook ANZ team who will each receive a Klook feature prize package worth $1,000 each.

How Do We Pick the Winners?

A judging panel composed of the Klook ANZ team will review and score the submissions based on the creativity of the pivot initiative, as well as the impact and success it has had on the business.
