MESSAGE FROM THE WORLD LUXURY AWARDS MARKETING DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE MANAGER
2021
Michael Hunter-Smith
has shown fantastic signs of the travel industry recovering and we believe that this trend will continue into 2022. Testament to this was that we had participants from 90 countries across our four award programs. We would like to thank France 24 as our global sponsor, their continued support through these trying times is hugely appreciated. The Covid 19 pandemic has greatly impacted the global travel industry and will require an innovative and focused marketing strategy to return to pre-pandemic levels. Along with our usual marketing tools and drive we will assist and support all our participants in their marketing efforts with a personalised award announcement video, winner property images, as well as individualized certificate. We are confident that these tools will go a long way in increasing public awareness and confidence in these establishments. Congratulations to all winners on their well-deserved World Luxury Travel Award! It is a pleasure and a privilege to award and recognise their dedication to the travel industry. A huge congratulations goes to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, for receiving the accolade of 2021 Global Travel Establishment of The Year. Well done to Mr. Mikhail Piotrovsky and his team with this magnificent achievement. We look forward to developing a strong partnership with all our winners and will continue to provide our best service as we prepare for more success in 2022.
Yours in luxury 4

Alto Wine Estate
IS A LEADING RED WINE PRODUCER NESTLED HIGH IN THE HELDERBERG MOUNTAINS IN STELLENBOSCH We are an Estate with a rich heritage and have been producing world-class wines for over a hundred years. We are the oldest red wine only producer in South Africa and are also one of the few wine estates to have only had five winemakers in our century old history — with two being a father and son duo. Our portfolio of wines is small and curated, our winemaker Bertho van der Westhuizen treats each wine as he would our flagship blend. From our Iconic Alto Rouge to our exceptional Alto Estate Blend, our wines ensure quality and consistency throughout. Visit our intimate Tasting Room, stroll through our barrel cellar or join us for our seasonal sunset rouge evenings and learn about the rich heritage and legacy that makes Alto what it is today.
