Supreme excellence

The World Travel Awards are the most prestigious and highly coveted awards in the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industry. The primary objective of the awards is to encourage, stimulate and recognise business excellence within the international travel and tourism industry. "Securing this award brings acknowledgement and respect from the global meetings and conference industry and, more importantly, from our clients," continued Ellingson.

Since 1993, the awards have stood unrivalled in impartially recognising and rewarding those who set the standards across all sectors of the travel and tourism industry. "This award is an opportunity for Africa to demonstrate supreme excellence at the highest level," concludes Graham E Cooke, president and founder of the World Travel Awards.
