perfect setting for the event, exemplifying the spirit of World Travel
Awards to push the boundaries of excellence in travel and tourism.

opening, the resort has rapidly established itself as the ultimate
place for golf and luxury, amidst an idyllic Mediterranean setting.
More
than 500 organisations from across Europe, spanning dozens of
categories, have been nominated for the competition for the most
influential accolade in travel.
WTA president Graham Cooke said:
“During times of economic uncertainty world-class brands come into
their own, continuing to grow market share whilst competitors flounder.
“Turkey
in particular has showed its credentials as a world-class tourism
brand, demonstrated in the number of top honours won by the nation’s top
hotels and travel organisations.
“Antalya in particular represents brand Turkey at its finest.
“Its
winning mix of heritage, sun-kissed beaches, state-of-the-art
facilities and superb value has propelled it into the league of one of
the world’s great destination cities.”
Over 57 countries will
compete for the accolades across 76 categories which include ‘Europe’s
Leading Airline’, ‘Europe’s Leading Car Hire’, ‘Europe’s Leading Hotel’,
‘Europe’s Leading Hotel Brand’ and ‘Europe’s Leading Resort’.
