The World Travel Awards — often described as the “Oscars of the travel industry” — are one of the most prestigious recognitions in global tourism.
Awards with quality and history
The World Travel Awards have been held annually since 1993, created by the World Travel and Tourism Council. Their purpose is to recognize institutions that deliver excellence in the sector.
Each year, ceremonies are held around the world to celebrate regional achievements in tourism. These events highlight organizations that offer outstanding service in travel, tourism, and hospitality.
The awards are granted by a panel of experts — mostly members of the World Travel and Tourism Council — and are presented at both global and regional levels across eight regions. Categories include hotels, attractions, airlines, and many others.
A recognized ceremony and jury
The jury is international, with winners decided by the votes of over 200,000 travel professionals worldwide. These experts in hospitality and quality assess which institutions stand out most in products and services.
In addition, the general public can also cast votes through the official awards website. Both professional and consumer votes ultimately determine the winners across categories.
The scale of the ceremony and the presence of major media outlets, as well as leading tourism representatives, make the World Travel Awards a true milestone in the travel calendar. The brand is also represented globally across social media platforms, adding further visibility to its winners.
In short, these awards are a world-renowned seal of quality.
World Travel Awards today
Even in challenging times for the travel industry, the desire to travel has remained strong — reflected in the record 2.3 million votes cast in 2021, the highest in the 29-year history of the awards. This marked a strong vote of confidence in the recovery of global tourism.
In 2023, the World Travel Awards celebrated their 30th anniversary, once again confirming their position as the most prestigious and comprehensive recognition program in the global industry. Today, the World Travel Awards brand is internationally recognized as the ultimate mark of excellence in tourism.
