Dubbed the Oscars of the travel industry by the Wall Street Journal, the ceremony is on November 7 in London.
 
Chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire Gary Verity said: “This is global recognition for all the hard work we have been doing with our partners to raise the profile of Yorkshire as a leading travel destination.
 
"We are in illustrious and esteemed company but that is where Yorkshire belongs. Yorkshire is a world class tourist destination and our nomination recognises that.
