The worldwide voting window for Africa is now open!

Industry insiders, consumers and stakeholders from around the world are invited to cast their votes for the organisations in Africa that they consider the very best in the business, ahead of World Travel Awards (WTA) Africa Gala Ceremony.

Rwanda’s thriving capital, Kigali, will stage WTA’s much anticipated Africa Gala Ceremony on Tuesday 10th October 2017 at the five star Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre.

The hotel's plush 292 rooms and suites pamper guests: expect private balconies, deep soaking tubs, flat-screen satellite televisions and complimentary high-speed, wireless Internet. There’s also two restaurants, a bar, 24-hour health club, swimming pool, tennis court and a total of 18 meeting rooms.

It will be the first time that WTA has visited Rwanda, one of Africa’s most stable nations where virgin rainforests, Instagram-worthy mountains and thundering waterfalls come as standard.

WTA President & Founder, Graham Cooke, said: “Preparations for the Grand Tour 2017 are now well underway and we are very much looking forward to our debut in Remarkable Rwanda.”

“With voting now open for our Africa region, it’s time to make your voice heard. Recognition by WTA is rightly seen as the highest accolade in the industry, and your vote can really make a difference.”

“Register for your chance to vote now.”
