Welcome President of the World Travel Awards Europe Gala Ceremony 2010 On behalf of the World Travel Awards, I wish you all a very warm welcome to our Europe Ceremony 2010.

This evening is all about celebrating your incredible achievements, and we are honoured to have gathered under one roof the cream of Europe’s travel and tourism industry.

More than one thousand of the region’s leading organisations have been nominated to win “a travel industry Oscar” and I am proud to say that competition is the fiercest yet in our 17-year history.

So what does it take to win a World Travel Award? Though our winners hail from every sector of the travel industry and from every corner of the globe, they all share one thing in common – an unrivalled ability to rise to a challenge.

Turkey in particular has emerged as one of the stars of the global downturn, continuing to grow market share whilst its competitors flounder. And our decision to host our awards here in Antalya is no coincidence.

This city epitomises what Turkey does best – by combining a rich, welcoming local culture with superb hospitality facilities, sun-kissed beaches and value for money, it has created a winning formula that now attracts visitors from the world over, come boom or bust.

Elsewhere in Europe, nations are dusting themselves down after the annus horribilus of 2009, and are now showing signs of resurgent growth.

Spain, one of the tourism economies hit hardest by the downturn, has reported an upsurge in tourist numbers this summer as its key source markets including the UK and Germany rediscover their appetite for travel.

France, Europe’s largest tourism economy, is also bouncing back as the US, Japan and other Asian markets increase their long-haul expenditure.

Greece has had a buoyant summer season despite suffering some fall-out from the civil unrest in May. Tourism generates almost one fifth of national output so the industry is playing a pivotal role in the nation’s long road back to economic recovery.

Congratulations to all award winners and also to those who have made this evening possible, in particular our host, Rixos Premium Belek. This sumptuous resort represents Turkey at its finest – sumptuous, charming and facilities that are truly world-class.

We also extend a special thank you to event partners Turkish Airlines and World.Mobi, as well as our media partners BBC World News, Breaking Travel News, eTurboNews, L’agenzia di Viaggi, ABTA Magazine, Travel Daily News, Focus on Travel News, New Focus Travel Magazine and Xenios.

Honouring and promoting excellence and innovation in travel and tourism are why we are gathered all here – so please enjoy yourselves with this in mind, for we value your incredible achievements and what you are doing for our industry.

Thank you all for being here with us on this very special occasion, and congratulations once again for your incredible achievements.

Graham E. Cooke President and Founder World Travel Awards

Special Focus:

Focus on Europe Guest Editorial

Proud Sponsor of World Travel Awards

It’s a been a tough year for tourism across Europe, but with Germany, the economic powerhouse of the continent, firing on all cylinders again, the outlook for the likes of Spain and Greece is looking considerably rosier than 12 months ago.

14

Whilst the burning question Europe’s tourism industry was asking last year was when we would see the green shoots of recovery, this year it has turned to which nations are emerging fastest.

Germany spluttered badly during the slump in world trade. And when the Germans started reigning in their travel expenditure, popular outbound markets such as the Spanish costas and the Greek islands rapidly felt the squeeze.

In the United Nation’s World Tourist Barometer, international tourist arrivals in Europe grew the slowest globally in the first half of 2010 – just 2 percent higher compared with 14 percent in Asia and the Pacific, 20 percent in the Middle East, 7 percent in Africa and 7 percent in the Americas. But within the European Union positive signs of a recovery are emerging, led by Germany, the region’s economic engine and its largest travel consumer.

But the country is once again firing on all cylinders. GDP grew by 2.2 percent (an annualised rate of close to 9 percent) in the three months to the end of June, well above even the most optimistic of forecasts and representing its strongest since reunification almost two decades ago.

The German revival is being felt across the continent. Spain, Germany’s largest outbound market, has finally turned a corner after being one of the tourism

economy’s hardest hit by the global downturn.

Overnight stays by international arrivals rose by 11 percent in July this year, compared to the same time in 2009, according to official figures from Spain’s National Statistics Institute. The Spanish revival was also helped by renewed confidence in the UK, its second largest source market.

The country has also been seeking an unlikely ally in China. At a recent meeting between Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao, the two nations have agreed to collaborate on a number of economic fronts, including tourism.

Initiatives will include policies that make

Europe_programme_V7_Layout 1 22/09/2010 11:45 Page 15

it easier for Chinese to obtain travel visas for travel to Spain and other European countries. The heads noted that events such as Spain’s victory in the FIFA World Cup and the Shanghai World Expo 2010 – where the Spanish pavilion is one of the most visited – have piqued Chinese citizens’ interest in visiting.

Madrid’s goal in the short term is to triple the number of 90,000 Chinese tourists who visit Spain each year. Zapatero said he was working on a new plan that promotes Spanish cultural and ecotourism destinations rather than the traditional model of sun, sea and sand.

For now, Spain ranks behind France, Germany and Britain as a favoured destination for Chinese travellers heading to Europe, though the Iberian nation is the world’s number two tourist destination overall.

Meanwhile, Spain’s great European tourism rival, France, has been attempting to woo the Arabian tourism dollar and encourage strengthening political, economic and cultural ties. This summer the French police deployed officers with foreign-language skills – including Arabic – to key tourist locations during busy holiday periods.

But it remains to be seen what impact the French government’s ban on facecovering garments in public will have on the willingness of Muslims to visit the country.

The UK too is pushing hard to lure the Arabian traveller. In May VisitBritain launched a business-to-business travel trade event, Destination Britain & Ireland, in Dubai, with more than 200 key companies and travel industry specialists attending.

And its efforts seem to be working.

Inbound tourists from Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates rose 9 percent year-on-year in 2009, and accounted for 1.7 percent of all visitors to the UK. VisitBritain said Gulf tourists were particularly attracted to the UK by the opportunity to shop for fashion and luxury goods not available at home, and to watch Premier League football.

Britain’s reputation as a safe, wellorganised country, with polite, approachable people and low levels of theft were also key pulling factors.

Other positive factors included Britain’s temperate climate, in contrast with the average 45ºC summers in, say, Saudi Arabia.

In Greece, tourism receipts have dropped by nearly a quarter in the past two years, with strikes and civil unrest denting a sector already hit by the global crisis. The strength of the Euro has also proved counterproductive, with Greece losing share to non-Eurozone neighbouring destinations Turkey and Croatia.

Greece relies on its sun-drenched beaches and historic monuments for nearly a fifth of its economy and a recovery in tourism is crucial as the country struggles to recover from a debt crisis and its worst recession in 36 years.

Spending by international tourists fell to €2.8 billion in the six months to June, down 11.9 percent year-on-year and 23.3 percent over two years, according to Greek Central Bank.

Revenues were hit particularly hard in June following the death of three bank employees during anti-government protests in May, at a time when almost daily strikes were leaving tourists stranded at airports and harbours.

It has upped value-added tax to 23 percent this year as part of an austerity drive aimed at pulling the country out of its debt crisis.

But Greece appears to have turned a corner over the summer. In July tourist arrivals narrowed to 1.3 percent from a 6 percent drop in May. August arrivals came in marginally higher than last year.

Whilst Greece has been one of the highest profile victims of the downturn, its neighbour Turkey has emerged as one of the stars.

As our travel patterns have shifted to more adventurous pastures, mid-haul has become the new short-haul. The likes of Istanbul offer an entirely different experience yet are only an hour or two further than traditional city break European destinations.

The shift to mid-haul has also sparked a boom in tourism across the country. Take Antalya – a sleepy ancient city that has been transformed into the country’s main holiday resort, complete with palmlined boulevards, glitzy marina and summer home to affluent Germans and British.

This city also epitomises what Turkey does best – by combining a rich, welcoming local culture with superb hospitality facilities, sun-kissed beaches and value for money, it has created a winning formula that now attracts visitors from the world over, come boom or bust.

About Us World Travel Awards

The World Travel Awards acknowledges and celebrates those organisations that have made the greatest contribution to the global tourism and travel industry. It also recognises those brands that are driving the industry to greater heights and innovation in travel.

Celebrating its 17th anniversary this year, the awards has grown into a truly global search for the very best travel and tourism brands, with the winners from the five regional ceremonies progressing to the World Travel Awards Grand Final in London on 7 November.

Last year, 183,000 travel professionals registered to vote and participate in the prestigious World Travel Awards programme – a phenomenal 10% rise in registrations compared to the year before.

This record number is conclusive evidence that World Travel Awards has become the “Oscars” of the global travel industry.

Graham E. Cooke, Founder and President, World Travel Awards, said: “World Travel Awards is a unique benchmark for industry quality and business excellence in every region and sector.”

22

“The increase in registered voters, despite a global recession, demonstrates the vital role of performance delivery in a challenging and highly competitive marketplace,” he added.

This level of accountability makes the World Travel Awards one of the highest accolades in the travel business and is why the award ceremony is broadcast by BBC World News and other networks to over 254 million households worldwide and attended by the industry’s global decision makers.

For the tourism trade, winning a World Travel Award is more than an award – it is an endorsement from the thousands of professionals from around the globe, as well as a gold seal to the consumer of travel excellence guaranteed.

The World Travel Awards has continuously evolved, expanding the number of awards as the industry has grown. There are now over 1,000 different categories – an understandable number seeing how the industry has diversified and given the fact that there were over 3,600 different nominees last year.

And as confidence returns to the global economy, the World Travel Awards will be there to reward those travel and tourism players that spearhead the recovery.

GRAND TOUR 2010 Dubai - Johannesburg - Antalya - Delhi - Jamaica - London

The Americas Gala Ceremony 2010 Sandals Whitehouse, Jamaica 22 October 2010

Jamaica is the exciting location for this year’s World Travel Awards The Americas Ceremony.

Jamaica is the third largest Caribbean island and the largest English-speaking country in the region. Jamaica's tourism product is as diverse as it is eclectic.

Accommodations range from bohemian cottages to luxurious villas to all inclusive resorts.

From Negril’s seven mile stretch of talcum beach to the lush and restful rainforests of Port Antonio; from the cultural mecca that is our capital city Kingston to the “complete” resort city of Montego Bay; from the majestic Dunn’s River Falls of Ocho Rios to the rolling cane fields of the South Coast … Jamaica will provide an experience to fulfil your treasured dreams.

Located within a 500-acre wilderness preserve, Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa perfectly blends the exotic allure of old Jamaica with the refined elegance of Europe. Three Europeaninspired villages – Italian, French and Dutch – are home to luxurious rooms and suites. Each one offers magnificent views overlooking the two-mile long beach, and top tier suites come with Sandals’ legendary Butler Service.

Seven restaurants serve mouth-watering gourmet cuisine from around the world, and entertainment ranges from a sophisticated piano bar to bonfire beach parties and a chic nightclub. This resort is truly a world unto itself, where time is all but forgotten and the only moment is now.
