Humberto Ferreira Europe's night of tourism triumph in TurkeyOctober 1, 2010 eTN.com (Forimmediaterelease.net) TURKEY - It was a night of elation – and some disappointment –
at this year’s World Travel Awards Europe Ceremony held in Antalya, Turkey, on Friday, October 1.
The industry’s top brass – including CEOs and directors of leading travel companies, government ministers, and tourist board chiefs – all gathered to battle it out at the most important evening of the year in European travel and tourism.
Although it’s been
a tough year for aviation on the continent, there have been a few notable exceptions.
TURKISH AIRLINES picked up the award for “Europe’s Leading Airline Business Class” following 12 months in which it posted record profits, grew market share, and continued its global expansion.
Meanwhile, KLM’s unrivaled air travel experience in the face of such a tough market led to it being voted “Europe’s Leading Airline.”
The luxury sector continues its recovery, led by two of Turkey’s brightest hospitality stars – MARDAN PALACE won “Europe’s Leading Luxury Hotel” and CORNELIA DIAMOND GOLF RESORT 6 SPA collected “Europe’s Leading Luxury Resort.”
And there was even more good news for Turkey, which also walked away with “Europe’s Leading Meetings&Conference Hotel” for RIXOS SUNGATE, “Europe’s Leading Tourist Board” for the Turkish Culture and Tourism Office. and “Europe’s Leading Destination” for ISTANBUL.
EUROPCAR received the award for “Europe’s Leading Car Hire” for an incredible eighth year running.
P&O FERRIES was awarded “Europe’s Leading Short Sea Ferry Operator”.
LISBON was crowned “Europe’s Leading City Break Destination.”
And EASYJET took away the trophy for “Europe’s Leading Low-Cost Airline.”
The award for “Europe’s Leading Marketing Campaign” went to “WELCOME YORKSHIRE."
The
biggest applause of the eveningwas saved for the SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, which this year was presented to
Talha Görgülü for his outstanding achievement within the TURKISH TRAVEL INDUSTRY. His “
A Group” Travel Agency, KAVITUR, brings millions of tourists to Turkey while his
charter operation SKY AIRLINES now flies to 50 destinations with a fleet of 17 state-of-the-art aircraft. In 2006, he set a new benchmark for style, not just in Turkey but worldwide, by opening the
ADAM&EVE HOTEL in ANTALYA.There were awards, too, for travel companies, organizations, and destinations in over 50 individual countries across Europe...---
