Call for nominations for the 2010 World Travel Awards
Self nomination has now opened for the World Travel r themselves in the most prestigious awards in the travel and tourism industry.
The World Travel Awards is described by the Wall Street Journal as the ‘Oscars’ of the global travel industry. It is aimed at recognising best practice within the industry, and encouraging organisations worldwide to raise the customer travel experience to new levels of excellence.
Being a nominee is a powerful way for top players to demonstrate to both the industry and the consumer that they have created a top-of-the-range travel product.
Applicants are invited to describe what distinguishes their organisation from the opposition, including the innovations and best practices that they feel are breaking new ground in travel. They are also encouraged to submit supporting material such as images, videos and power-point presentations.
Applicants can choose from 998 categories to nominate themselves. These are divided into regions and cover a wide spectrum of categories. Examples include “Europe’s Leading Hotel Brand”, “Asia’s Leading Airline”, “Middle East’s Leading Luxury Hotel”, “North America’s Leading Boutique Hotel” and “South America’s Leading Green Hotel”.
The World Travel Awards 2010 nominations will be announced on the 10th March.
