Opening
World Travel Awards' 2013 Grand Tour, this gala presentation ceremony
heralds the start of a global search for the very best travel,
tourism and hospitality organisations around the world.
WTA’s
Middle East Ceremony will be held in Dubai for the sixth year in
succession, affirming the emirate’s impressive force in travel
trends, not just in the region but throughout the world.
Graham
E. Cooke, President & Founder, WTA, believes that the selection
of hosts is an integral part of the success of the world’s most
influential travel awards programme. He says: “I am delighted that
we return to Dubai for what promises to be an exciting and
competitive Middle East Ceremony. The emirate continues to breathe
innovation and direction into the Travel Industry landscape, and our
host exemplifies this.”
The
Resort continues to be a market leader despite fierce competition in
the Resort & Spa arena in Dubai. Set in acres of lush, landscaped
gardens with a private beach, Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort + Spa,
is a tri-building property designed for both leisure and business
travellers. The Resort provides 500 plush rooms and suites in
addition to 13 restaurants and bars. Inspired by the rituals of
ancient Rome, Caracalla Spa offers a selection of beauty treatments
with Hammam pools, a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and three
temperature-controlled swimming pools.
“We
are extremely proud to host this year’s prestigious WTA Middle East
Ceremony at Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort and Spa – one of the
region’s premier resorts,” comments Pam Wilby, Complex General
Manager of Grosvenor House Dubai and Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort
and Spa. “Having won numerous accolades at the World Travel Awards
for the past six years ourselves, we now have the honour and
privilege to welcome some of the leading players in the industry for
what is sure to be one of the biggest nights of the year in the
social calendar of Dubai.”
WTA’s
Middle East Ceremony 2013 will attract more than 600 of the most
important decision-makers in the region’s travel and tourism
sector, as well as a host of international media. This spectacular
evening precedes the opening of the world acclaimed Arabian Travel
Market (5 - 8 May).
