The winners of the 2023 World Travel Awards (WTA) have been revealed at a glitzy ‘Grand Final’ gala in Dubai, with the Maldives, Qatar and Norwegian Cruise Line among the big winners of the annual showcase.
Held at Dubai’s Burj Al Arab, the event brought together industry leaders from around the world to find out who earned the top honours – as voted by travel and tourism industry executives, as well as travellers themselves. The red-carpet affair marked the 30th anniversary of the World Travel Awards’ end-of-year global ceremony.
This year, the Maldives stole the spotlight, earning the title of ‘World’s Leading Destination’. The Maldives Marketing & Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) also secured ‘World’s Leading Tourist Board’.
Elsewhere, Qatar’s tourism sector raked in numerous awards. Post the success of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Doha was voted ‘World’s Leading Sports Tourism Destination’ and ‘World’s Leading Business Travel Destination’. Qatar Tourism also earned the ‘World’s Leading Marketing Campaign’ award.
In a double win for Doha, Qatar Airways was also named ‘World’s Leading Airline’ and ‘World’s Leading Airline – Business Class’.
Other Arabian aviation winners included Etihad Airways, who earned accolades for ‘World’s Leading Airline – Economy Class’ and ‘World’s Leading Airline – Customer Experience’, and Emirates who was recognised as the ‘World’s Leading Airline – First Class.’
Among destinations, the Philippines picked up awards for ‘World’s Leading Beach Destination’ and ‘World’s Leading Dive Destination’, while Madeira’s natural beauty also won voters over, earning the title of ‘World’s Leading Island Destination’.
The Caribbean shone with Saint Lucia winning ‘World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination’ and Jamaica reinforcing its tourism credentials with victories in the ‘World’s Leading Family Destination’ and ‘World’s Leading Cruise Destination’ categories.
The French city of Cannes was named ‘World’s Leading Festival & Event Destination’.
In the newcomer categories, Dubai’s Atlantis The Royal claimed ‘World’s Leading New Resort’, Raffles Doha in Qatar secured ‘World’s Leading New Hotel’ and Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Airport was acknowledged as ‘World’s Leading New Airport’.
Adding to the Middle East’s triumphs, the luxurious Jumeirah Al Naseem in the UAE was crowned ‘World’s Leading Hotel’. Meanwhile, Sardinia’s Forte Village Resort claimed the title of ‘World’s Leading Resort’.
Among the cruise awards, Norwegian Cruise Line picked up ‘World’s Leading Cruise Line’ and ‘World’s Leading Large Ship Cruise Line’.
World Travel Awards Founder Graham Cooke said the winners “represent the pinnacle of tourism excellence”.
The World Travel Awards was created in 1993 to recognise high achievers across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries. The WTA holds award ceremonies within each continent throughout the year, culminating with a grand final at the end of the year.
