decades; whilst sightseeing alone contributed US$1.23bn to the Chinese economy.

As possibly the most cuttingedge city in the world right now, Shanghai was always going to be our star choice to host the ceremony. Its scintillating blend of spaceage developments fused with its ancient culture embodies the very spirit of the new China, and provides a vision of how the rest of Asia, and the world, will look in years to come.

The World Travel Awards tonight celebrates those companies and individuals that have helped make the Chinese tourism miracle a reality. We also pay tribute to those across the Asia and the Indian Ocean who have achieved a supreme level of excellence. The whole region has maintained strong growth over the past year, helped in no small part by the full recovery of Thailand and the Maldives from the impact of the tsunami.

These are exciting times for Chinese tourism, especially being Olympic year. China is now blossoming into a mustvisit tourist destination for the discerning traveller. It is no surprise that the growth in international tourism is little short of phenomenal. The number of international inbound visitors rose 10 per cent in 2006, reflecting consistent double-digit annual growth over the past two

Congratulations to all those who are receiving awards and also to those that have made this evening possible, in particular the Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administrative Commission and the Swissôtel Grand Shanghai. Honouring and promoting excellence and innovation in tourism and travel is the very essence of this regional World Travel Awards gala – so please enjoy

Gala Show Host

Varun Sharma Varun caught the travel bug from his parents. Every summer while growing up, they used to pack up an estate car and drive round Europe taking in the sights, sounds, smells ... & hotels!

Varun’s journalistic flair and magnetic personality were spotted early on by the BBC, when as a fresh graduate in 1994; he was selected as one of eight from several thousand media hopefuls to join the BBC National News Trainee Scheme. Here, he was trained in every aspect of bi-media journalism, working on BBC television’s Business Breakfast, Working Lunch, World Business, Newsround and Political Units.

His presenting career took-off in 1996, when he graduated from the BBC to become lifestyle presenter on Bloomberg television and on Bloomberg on the Money, for Talk Radio. He held this role for three years before going freelance. Varun’s freelance roles included reporter on London Tonight and presenter on BBC World News.

In 2000, he set up The Luxury Travel Show which still airs in over 150 countries around the world.

After a year editing a luxury lifestyle magazine for the spa brand Ligne St Barth in 2005, Varun started planning a new television series under the banner of Inside Luxury Travel.

He and his team spent much of 2007 on the road – producing “Inside Luxury Travel with Varun Sharma” – a luxury travelogue and “Inside Luxury Travel with Varun Sharma: The Finest Collection” that looks at the best hotels in any one location. The team has gained unique access to some of the greatest and camera-shy hotels & resorts in the world – including The Ritz in London, Hotel de Paris in Monaco and the Casa Casurina in Miami.

2008 has taken the team to Monaco, London, Miami, Los Angeles, Hong Kong & Tokyo.

The show now airs in the UK, USA, Middle East, Hong Kong & China.
