Ceremony a few weeks later. We will finish the regional events at InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in Vietnam, which will this year host the World Travel Awards Asia & Australasia Gala Ceremony. The year will close with the World Travel Awards Grand Final at Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort in the Maldives on December 2nd with what promises to be the highlight of the hospitality calendar in the Indian Ocean.
EUROPE GALA CEREMONY 2016 On behalf of World Travel Awards, I warmly welcome you to our Europe Gala Ceremony 2016, this year being hosted by the stunning Forte Village Resort here in Sardinia, Italy. With so much to see, I hope you’ve had a chance to visit some of the sites on this 55-hectare resort – be it the pristine beaches, glorious countryside or luxury hotels. This is the second time World Travel Awards has visited Sardinia in our 23-year history and it is an honour to return after the fantastic event we hosted here at Forte Village just 12 short months ago. This exceptional event is part of our year-long Grand Tour 2016 – a series of regional events to celebrate the
world’s outstanding travel brands, covering six continents and featuring over 9,000 nominees. We began in April this year at the Diamonds La Gemma dell'Est resort in Zanzibar, Tanzania, with our Africa & Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony, before moving to Lima, capital of Peru, for our Latin America Gala Ceremony. Both were rapturously received, leaving us in a strong position for the rest of the year. After this evening we turn our attention to our next event, the Caribbean & North America Gala Ceremony, to be hosted by Sandals Ochi Beach Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, before we head to Dubai for the Middle East Gala
Each year our locations, categories, nominees and, most importantly, the number of voting travel professionals increases exponentially, revealing the tremendous public demand for the recommendation a World Travel Award signifies. The recognition we offer is one of a kind, as no other organisation has the experience, the gravitas, or the loyal following of more than half of a million travel, tourism and hospitality professionals we possess. I wish to thank our hosts this evening, Forte Village Resort, and to thank you all for joining us on this special evening. Finally, congratulations to all our nominees on your endeavours and achievements this year - and the very best luck! World Travel Awards President & Founder Graham Cooke

EUROPE GALA CEREMONY 2016
WELCOME We are honoured to host the World Travel Awards Europe Ceremony here at the Forte Village on the beautiful south coast of Sardinia. Thank you for coming to participate in this globally prestigious event, we wish you a most enjoyable stay. The Forte Village has previously been awarded World’s Leading Resort, the World’s Leading Green Resort, World’s Leading Sports Academy and World’s Leading Spa Resort. However the world does not stand still, the expectation of guests is constantly rising and
individual hotel standards are compared to the best of class on a global basis. This year, to maintain our brand position, the Forte Village will complete its three year €30m ‘new era’ investment programme to refurbish the accommodation and re-design public areas such as the iconic Oasis pool area and new sea facing Forte Bay sports and restaurant area. Our ‘capo lavoro,’ has been the development and launch of the new Forte Arena with an audience capacity of 5,000 people which has already hosted four superb shows including Fiorello, Renzo Arbore, Anastacia, and Andrea Bocelli.
Guest satisfaction, based on a distinctive guest experience as always been the foundation for success, the difference now is the scale of influence which guests have as they publish their reviews on social media. Improving the guest experience every year is no longer an optional extra, it is fundamental to keeping up with guest expectations. World Travel Awards recognises quality, which is why award winners should be justly proud to be distinguished in this way. Yours sincerely Lorenzo Giannuzzi General Manager Forte Village Resort

BREAKING TRAVEL NEWS SPOTLIGHT ON:
EUROPE
As World Travel Awards arrives at Forte Village Resort for the Europe Gala Ceremony 2016, Breaking Travel News here brings you the latest news from some of the key players in regional tourism.
First up is Portugal, which is celebrating recognition from the Blue Flag organisation, which has given the destination a ringing endorsement. In the year that marks 30 years of the Blue Flag system, a total of 314 beaches and 17 recreational ports and marinas were attributed the distinction in Portugal in 2016, for the first time breaking the 300 barrier in terms of Blue Flag beaches.
Portugal remains the fifth ranked country in Europe, as it was in 2015. In first place is Spain (578), followed by Turkey (436), Greece (395) and France (379). It is pointed out that none of those countries registered an increase in Blue Flag beaches, in contrast to Portugal. In relation to the distribution along the Portuguese coast, the Algarve is the region with the most Blue Flag beaches, totalling 88 beaches in 13 councils.

The European Blue Flag Programme began on a continental scale in 1986, as part of the European Year of the Environment Programme. With the backing of the European Commission, the main goal of the initiative was to raise awareness among the general public and the decision makers in particular about the need to protect the marine and coastal environment and to encourage action to be taken to solve problems. Turismo de Portugal is itself recognised as Europe’s Leading Tourist Board by the World Travel Awards.

EUROPCAR Europcar reported total revenue amounted to €948 million for the first half of 2016, compared to €961 million in 2015 first semester, representing an increase of 0.5 per cent at constant currency. This in-
crease is mainly driven by a 0.9 per cent growth in rental revenue, to €883 million, and partly off-set by the decrease of petrol prices. Significant headwinds and numerous challenges (bad weather conditions in northern European countries, European terrorist attacks and finally doubts on the way out of the Brexit referendum) combined with a softer commercial momentum explained this performance. Philippe Germond, chairman of Europcar, stated: “The first semester 2016 confirmed the resilience of our model. On the revenues side, Europcar demonstrated a sound growth at constant exchange rate, despite an adverse environment, notably impacted by European terrorist attacks, social movements in France, weaker trading environment, bad weather conditions in northern European countries, and finally Brexit.” He added: “In the meantime, Europcar continued to accelerate its development with the successful acquisition of Locaroise and Bluemove.” Rental volume increased by three per cent compared to the first half of 2015, at 26.7 million. The leisure segment showed a positive evolution over the first half of 2015 on both Europcar and InterRent brands, notably in the European Southern countries.
Europcar is considered Europe's Leading Car Rental Company by World Travel Awards.
TAP PORTUGAL TAP - considered Europe’s Leading Airline to Africa and South America by World Travel Awards voters - has confirmed an increase in the number of weekly flights operating from London Gatwick to Lisbon and Porto, as part of its winter operations timetable. The timetable will come into operation on October 30th. The increases bring TAP’s winter schedule to a total of 71 direct weekly flights to Portugal from London Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester. From London Gatwick to Porto, TAP will introduce two additional flights, serving this route with a total of 14 weekly flights.
TAP’s network in Africa is also set for growth, with further services operating from Lisbon, to destinations in Cabo Verde. These destinations will increase their weekly flights as follows: Praia up to 11, Sal up to eight and São Vicente four. Also in Africa, TAP will increase from seven to ten weekly flights to Dakar, Senegal, and will introduce night flights both from Lisbon to Luanda and from Luanda to Lisbon every day for the first time. Passengers flying on round trips starting in the UK to America, Brazil or Africa, and vice versa, can benefit from the new Portugal Stopover programme.
The London Gatwick Lisbon route will grow from seven to 12 weekly flights. Additional changes in the winter schedule include increased services from Lisbon to Ponta Delgada, Azores, which will double from one daily flight to two. There will also be an increase from Lisbon to Miami, to Boston and to New York, JFK.

BREAKING TRAVEL NEWS SPOTLIGHT ON:
SARDINIA
With streets, squares and views that become enchanting sceneries and backdrops, Sardinia offers its wealth of tourist and cultural attractions against the magic palette of a multitude of landscapes. Here we take a tour to discover why this timeless destination retains its magical air.
Situated in the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia is one of the crown jewels of Italian tourism. Famous for the beautiful beaches strung alone almost 2,000 kilometres of coast and the particular turquoise colour of its crystal clear waters, the region offers everything from the peaceful coves of the Gulf of Orosei to the chic scene in Costa Smeralda. In Sardinia you will always find the beach of your dreams.
18
Sardinian geological nature, the mild weather conditions and calm waters make it the perfect place for enjoying many activities all year round, including windsurfing, sailing and diving. On dry land, your sporting choices extend to cycling, horse riding, trekking, free climbing and golf. Sardinia offers an infinite variety of underwater scenarios spread along its coasts: ancient wrecks, downed aircraft

are also sea mud packs consisting of sand and clay rich in salts. Less well known are the packs with sand, fine and warmth. Treatments using fresh or dried seaweed are another rich source of minerals and micronutrients.
and archaeological remains blend in with the natural environment creating many splendid possibilities for scuba divers and underwater photographers. The morphology of the coasts varies, from sandy depths to rocks, inlets and bays, natural home to many types of fish. The currents favour the transparency of the water, creating a range of colours running from bright turquoise to deep blue, making this underwater paradise one of a kind. To protect its precious coastal environment, Sardinia has a number of protected marine areas and national nature parks. For wine-lovers, take a guided tour of Sardinia’s sweet-smelling vineyards and wineries and learn how the island creates the unique flavours of its wines. You can also try a cooking class and discover the secrets of Sardinian cuisine according to closely-guarded recipes. Or absorb yourself in local Sardinian culture by visiting the traditional festivals held every year on the island. Get involved with tradi-
tional medieval celebrations, spectacular horse shows and colourful folk parades. Sardinia is often described as “the largest open air museum in the world,” with its 7,000 nuraghi, the great megalithic complexes with the Dolmen, the tombs of the giants and the Domus de Janas, all remnants of the ancient and mysterious Nuragic civilisation.
A very special gift reaches us from Sardinia’s ancient geological past: the curative properties of the waters springing from beneath the ground. Known and exploited from time immemorial, these thermal waters are as effective today as in the past. The thermal waters of Sardara flow from a site already well known in the Bronze Age. These waters are bicarbonate-alkaline and hyper-thermal: they flow from five springs at a temperature between 58° and 60°C. The waters of Fordongianus, sulphurous and hyper-thermal, spring out at a temperature of 56°C and are especially suitable for the treatment of respiratory complaints, skin diseases and brittle bones.
M O R E I N F O R M AT I O N For more information on visiting Sardinia head over to the official website at www. sardegnaturismo.it.
WELLNESS Water, seaweed, sand and sea mud are a precious source of wellness, known to humankind since bygone times: the ancient Egyptians used marine substances for soothing and health treatments. A knowledge later shared by the Phoenicians and Romans. Thanks to its contents of salts, micro-organisms, trace elements and iodine, the Sardinian sea helps improve circulation, prevent joint complaints and oxygenate and purify the body. Thalassotherapy treatments come in a wide range in Sardinia: side by side with the baths at controlled temperatures there

PERFECT COMBINATION OF DELICIOUS FOOD AND DRINK
FARMERS PALACE
Radisson Blu Saga Hotel is owned by the Icelandic farmers association, hence referred to as the Farmers palace by the locals. We emphasise this relationship with the farmers by having icelandic products at the forefront of our menus.

We offer high quality, consistency and professional service throughout the entire hotel. We host 3 venues under the same concept, under the same roof and under the same chef, Siggi Helga.
SIGGI HELGA, EXECUTIVE CHEF
Siggi is one of the best chefs in Iceland. He represented Iceland in the famous Bocuse d’Or in 2015. Siggi Helga is well known by the local farmers and has established a respectful working realationship with them.

Maturing means a magnificent on-going process of personal growth. Where wisdom comes with age and while becoming a better life manager, the skin matures and exhibits our position of the maturing progress.
Knowing there is nothing that can be done on naturally failing oestrogen levels, nor on pre-coded genetic factors, NANNIC dedicated itself to the multiple external influences of how skin ages and how we herewith can help blunt their damage. This NANNIC scientific approach goes back to the origin(s) that might have caused certain malfunctions leading to a visible skin problem. No quick fixes, but rather regenerating and rebalancing complexes to offer the metabolism its own forces to restore. The used complexes combine multiple natural ingredients and are a result of a scientific cooperation between the NANNIC laboratories and several worldwide research teams or universities. These blends of synergetic working micro forces stimulate the metabolites while inhibiting the aggressor.

A MAGNIFICENT MEDIEVAL HAMLET JUST OUTSIDE SIENA In the stunning setting of one of Italy’s most beautiful regions, amid Chianti vines, rolling fields of wheat and long lines of cypress trees, stands Castel Monastero, a tiny 11th-century medieval hamlet just 23 km from Siena. Inside these thousand-year-old walls, Castel Monastero’s rooms, suites and villa pay homage to the harmonious rustic style of Tuscany’s ancient abodes.
The Spa at Castel Monastero is the ideal place to rediscover harmony and balance. The weight-loss and detox programmes, beauty treatments and moments of true relaxation help restore health and wellbeing. At our two restaurants, guests can savour the elegant cuisine created by our Chef in partnership with a star of the calibre of Gordon Ramsay, accompanied by local specialities and the finest Tuscan wines.

Republic of the Maldives is a sovereign archipelagic nation positioned in the Indian Ocean. Notably the south Asian island nation has no counterpart in the entire world in terms of its unique geography and topography. The Maldives encompass more than 99 % of the sea and less than one per cent of the land. The 99 per cent of the sea is home to one of the most diverse marine treasures of the world. Less than one per cent of the land is a masterpiece in natural landscaping. The Maldives comprises of 26 natural atolls consisting of dual island chains. Incidentally the Maldivian language has the distinct pleasure of contributing to the English word “atoll”, which was derived from the Maldivian word “atholhu”. There are channels of various sizes between the atolls used for navigation. For efficient administrative functioning, the 26 natural atolls are categorised into 20 administrative divisions. Particularly the island nation is located in a strategic area with access to major international sea routes in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives, located on top of a vast underwater mountain range have around 1190 islands and sandbanks. The pearl string like islands covers a land area of no less than 298 km2. All the islands are encircled by a lagoon blessed with crystal clear water. These islands are protected by a reef structure, housing one of the most exclusive and spectacular underwater life.
