World Travel Awards has unveiled the regional nominees for the 2011 awards. Contenders include each region’s leading tourist boards, airlines and luxury hotels. Over 5,000 organisations from across 160 countries will be competing in over 900 categories. Nominees of the World categories will be announced at the end of September.
Online voting has now opened and the organisers of the awards are urging both trade and consumers to submit their votes in order to seek out those who excel in the travel industry. Self nominations in 2011 has increased by 35% compared to the previous year as companies and destinations are becoming more aware of the global coverage and commercial benefits those who make it onto the winners’ podium can expect to achieve.
The first of the regional heats will take place this May at The Armani Hotel in Dubai and will see Middle East companies battle it out for the World Travel Awards trophies. This will be followed closely by ceremonies in Jamaica, Antalya, Egypt and Bangkok. Winners from the regional events will then go on to compete in the Grand Final later in the year. Graham E. Cooke, Founder and President, World Travel Awards, said: “As the tension surrounding the regional ceremonies builds, we are looking forward to revealing the leading players and tracking their progress as they head to our Grand Final 2011.”
