Celebrating its 17th anniversary, the World Travel Awards has grown into a global search for the very best travel and tourism brands and is heralded by the Wall Street Journal as the “Oscars of the travel industry.” The growth of sport tourism – a sector now worth US$600 billion annually – is reflected strongly in the choice of this year’s WTA host venues.
