Dubai hosts travel “Oscars” - Middle East Stars to Shine

The Middle East’s travel elite will celebrate their achievements when the World Travel Awards, the industry’s highest accolade, comes to Dubai on the 5 May 2009 at The Monarch.

Over 500 travel and tourism brands from across the Middle East have been nominated for the awards, which is hailed as the “Oscars of the Travel Industry” by the Wall Street Journal.

“Dubai is spearheading the globe when it comes to luxury travel, world-class service and innovative tourism products. Its offerings are setting the benchmark for the industry worldwide, so it is fitting that we will host our Middle Eastern regional ceremony here,” says Graham Cooke, President of the World Travel Awards.

“The winners of the World Travel Awards Middle East Ceremony have the chance to lead the way, pushing the boundaries in every aspect of business activity, creativity and customer satisfaction, competing at the very highest level and showing the world how it is done."

Winners are decided by votes received from agents and travel professionals in the Middle East and throughout the world.
