The Awards, sometimes described as the Oscars of world tourism, draws hundreds of travel companies to honor outstanding achievements in Aviation, Hotels, Resorts, Travel Companies, and Tourist Destinations.
Each year, the WTA stages a series of regional galas to recognise and celebrate individual and collective success in each geographic region.
