The event will bring together many representatives from the top hotel chains and groups, resorts and spas in the region and in the world to attend the prestigious "24th World Travel Awards" and "3rd World Spa Awards".
The decision to combine World Travel Awards Grand Final Gala Ceremony and World Spa Awards Gala Ceremony will give nominees and delegates a heightened exposure on the night, as well as increasing the networking opportunities on offer.
The event will be a showcase of both the best of Vietnamese hospitality and the global spa and wellness industry so that this is an opportunity not only for global travel industry activists to cooperate with each other but also for Vietnam to promote its image on a global scale and brig the beauty and friendliness of Vietnam to an even greater audience.
This is the second time Vietnam has been selected to host the important event of the world’s tourism industry.
Established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry, the World Travel Awards brand is recognized globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire.
Each year World Travel Awards covers the globe with a series of regional gala ceremonies staged to recognize and celebrate individual and collective successes within each key geographical region.
World Travel Awards Gala Ceremonies are widely regarded as the best networking opportunities in the travel industry, attended by government and industry leaders, luminaries, and international print and broadcast media.
World Spa Awards is a dynamic awards program, launched in 2015, and is designed to drive up standards within spa and wellness tourism by rewarding the organizations that are the leaders in the field.
