About the World Travel Awards
Founded in 1993, the World Travel Awards (WTA) were established to recognize, reward, and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the global travel industry. Widely regarded as the “Oscars of Tourism”, these awards have become the highest accolade in the travel industry with a history spanning over three decades. Likewise, the WTA not only highlights the finest in tourism but also plays a crucial role in promoting responsible and sustainable travel practices.
Over time, the WTA ceremonies have evolved into a celebration of the global tourism industry, while underscoring the importance of creating unique experiences for travelers. The awards serve as a benchmark for quality and hospitality, with a jury of international experts deciding the winners in a range of categories. Therefore, this prestigious recognition is considered the ultimate seal of quality in the global tourism market.
