Travel Oscars

The awards programme has been hailed as the “Oscars of the travel industry” by organisers as it highlights and rewards those travel brands that have made the greatest contribution to the industry during the past year.

“Travel and tourism is the lifeblood of the Caribbean economy, and the sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience, given the challenges faced by the key source markets of Europe and North America.

Our nominees represent those organisations that have made the greatest contribution to the performance of the Caribbean in the face of adversity, and I look forward to finding out which ones will make it on to the winner’s podium on,” said Graham E. Cooke, president and founder of the awards.

The Caribbean and the Americas Ceremony 2012 marks the second leg of the World Travel Awards Grand Tour, a global search for the world’s leading travel brands, which also includes regional heats in Dubai, Singapore and The Algarve. The winners of these legs will then go head-to-head at a grand finale, which takes place at The Oberoi, Gurgaon, New Delhi, India on Wednesday, 12 December.
