The ceremony for the chapter North & Central America’s, was held at Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo.
The awards are regarded as the very highest achievement that a travel product could ever hope to receive, described by the Wall Street Journal as the ‘Oscars’ of the global travel and tourism industry, unveiled who are the ‘best of the best’ in the region.
More than 500 travel organizations were nominated in the ceremony.
Graham Cooke, President, World Travel Awards commented: “The past 12 months have brought several challenges, namely the economic downturn and the outbreak of swine flu, which has impacted travel and tourism worldwide; today’s winners have remained focused on their long term objectives, and continued to deliver above and beyond the call of duty, setting an industry example.”
Throughout the evening, winners were presented with their prestigious trophies by key industry figures, with live entertainment which included performances from The Village People, as well as KC and the Sunshine Band.
Each winner has automatically been put forward for the spectacular WTA Grand Final which will take place at the five-star Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott Hotel in London on November 8th immediately before World Travel Market.
