World Travel Awards 2023 Date

In a thrilling announcement, the World Travel Awards (WTA) has revealed that the picturesque island of Saint Lucia will be the host of its prestigious Caribbean & The Americas Gala Ceremony 2023. This red-carpet event, set to take place on 26 August 2023, will gather the leading figures from the travel industry across the region. The highly anticipated VIP evening will be held at the luxurious Sandals Grande St. Lucian, serving as the grand finale of World Travel Week 2023.

This week-long celebration of the global travel and tourism sector will bring together industry thought leaders and ignite meaningful discussions on key issues. As part of the festivities, a President’s Reception will also be held on the eve of the World Travel Awards winners’ ceremony. Graham Cooke, the Founder of World Travel Awards, expressed his honor in unveiling Saint Lucia as the host for this monumental event, coinciding with the organization’s 30th anniversary.

He commended Saint Lucia’s role in spearheading the recovery of travel and tourism in the Caribbean, highlighting the island’s captivating beauty as a crucial aspect of the anniversary tour. For the past three decades, World Travel Awards has maintained its position as the industry leader, serving as the global benchmark for recognizing excellence in travel and tourism.

Cooke eagerly anticipates joining the region’s most esteemed travel industry figureheads for this fabulous event, which will acknowledge the organizations driving the growth of the Caribbean and The Americas’ travel and tourism sector. Blessed by nature, Saint Lucia is a destination of unparalleled beauty, boasting majestic volcanic mountains emerging from the crystal-clear blue sea, pristine paradise beaches, lush forests, and a rich cultural heritage.

The island’s Minister for Tourism, Investment, Creative Industries, Culture & Information, the Honorable Dr. Ernest Hilaire, expressed his excitement about hosting the prestigious World Travel Awards Caribbean & The Americas Gala Ceremony 2023. He emphasized the significant impact that travel and tourism have on the island’s economy. Lorine Charles-St Jules, CEO of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority, shared her enthusiasm for the Authority’s partnership with the esteemed World Travel Awards brand.

She remarked that hosting this event would provide an incredible boost to Saint Lucia’s tourism sector, as the island continues to strive for excellence in the hospitality industry. Charles-St Jules warmly welcomed leaders from around the world, eager to immerse them in the island’s exceptional hospitality and captivating culture. In addition to the World Travel Awards, Saint Lucia has a lineup of exciting events and activities planned for 2023:

• Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival (5-14 May): After a three-year hiatus, the Caribbean’s biggest music event returns, featuring headline artists such as 17-time Grammy winner Sting and reggae icon Shaggy.
• Saint Lucia Carnival (12-19 July): Heralded as one of the best Carnivals in the Caribbean, this vibrant celebration is expected to attract over 10,000 visitors.
• Three Peaks Challenge: A new addition for 2023, the Three Peaks Challenge allows visitors to conquer three iconic mountains during their stay: Gros Piton, Petit Piton, and Mount Gimie.
• Kabawe Krawl: Embark on a new trail of bars, known as Kabawe (Creole for rum shack), where you can meet locals, exchange stories, and indulge in Saint Lucian hospitality. Join a guided tour or keep an eye out for the Kabawe Krawl sign at participating venues.
• Romance Summit: Say Yes to Saint Lucia! This Global Romance Summit will bring together agents, villas, hotels, and wedding planners for strategic collaborations. The summit will feature keynote speakers, a bridalwear fashion show, and a digital media strategy workshop.
• Atlantic Rally Cruise: Witness the awe-inspiring Atlantic Rally Cruise (ARC), an annual event where over 100 boats set sail from Las Palmas in Gran Canarias, crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean to reach the shores of Saint Lucia.

How do you get into the World Travel Awards?

Unlock the doors to the prestigious World Travel Awards through two distinct avenues. The most common path is to secure a nomination from a revered travel professional. These industry experts, hailing from all corners of the globe, have the power to nominate their favorite travel destinations, companies, and products across the extensive array of over 100 categories.

For those who haven’t been nominated by a travel professional, fear not! A direct application to the World Travel Awards is another route worth exploring. However, it is essential to ensure that you meet the specific eligibility criteria for the award you are vying for. The eligibility criteria for the World Travel Awards may vary depending on the category, but a few general guidelines can be expected.

Firstly, the travel destination, company, or product must have been open to the public and operational for a minimum of one year. Additionally, the location of the entity should be within a country that holds membership with the esteemed World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Lastly, a sterling reputation and a respected standing within the travel and tourism industry are paramount. By adhering to these guidelines, you can position yourself for the opportunity to shine on the grand stage of the World Travel Awards.

Is World Travel Awards Legit?

Yes, World Travel Awards Legit is legit. World Travel Awards is a highly reputable and globally recognized organization that celebrates excellence in the travel and tourism industry. As the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence, World Travel Awards encourages and motivates industry practitioners to continually enhance their product and service offerings. Each year, World Travel Awards organizes an extensive program that encompasses a wide range of awards, honoring the most vital sectors and product offerings in the industry.

These awards are presented at three levels: regional, country, and world awards. To be considered for a World Travel Award, brands that are consistently raising the bar of industry excellence can submit their entry form online. The submitted nominations are then carefully reviewed and verified to ensure they meet the criteria for the chosen award(s). Successful applicants are notified and provided with an invoice for the entry fee, which varies depending on the award level.

Upon payment of the entry fee, the nomination is added to the following year’s nominations, and the brand receives a Digital Nominee Pack. This pack includes valuable resources such as the nominee shield, a “vote for us” button, web banners, and a dedicated voting web page to promote the nomination. The list of nominees is revealed when the voting process opens.

It’s important to note that the previous year’s Winner and two runners-up automatically requalify for the same award and do not need to submit a new entry. The voting process for World Travel Awards is conducted online. Votes are cast by qualified executives in the travel and tourism industry, media professionals, and consumer travel buyers. Non-industry voters’ votes count as one, while verified travel professionals’ votes carry a weighting of two, reflecting their expertise and influence in the industry.

Being nominated for a World Travel Award is a prestigious recognition that highlights a brand’s commitment to excellence and quality in the travel and tourism industry. It is a testament to the brand’s dedication to providing exceptional experiences for travelers around the world.
