GRAHAM COOKE WELCOME On behalf of World Travel Awards, I warmly welcome you to our Europe Gala Ceremony 2018, this year being hosted here in the stunning Zappeion Megaron Hall in Athens, Greece. What a unique location we have this evening. This is the second time World Travel Awards has visited Greece, and can I be the first to say what an honour it is to be returning here tonight.

This is an exciting time for Greece, with the country looking forward to another strong year in the tourism sector. For every one of its citizens, three foreign visitors – 32 million in total – will arrive this year, more than at any other time since

records began. Tourist numbers have increased by an additional two million every year for the past three years.

Arrivals from China alone have doubled over the past two years. This is great news for all of us gathered here this evening.

Do make the most of you time here in Athens – there is so much to see. From the Acropolis and Parthenon, to the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Theatre of Dionysus, the city has some of the most captivating sites anywhere on earth.

Tonight’s event is the second stop on our year-long Grand Tour 2018 – a series of regional events to celebrate the world’s outstanding travel brands, covering six continents and featuring over 9,000 nominees. In this, World Travel Awards’ Silver Jubilee year, we began in April in Ras al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, with the Middle East Gala Ceremony, and also plan to visit the InterContinental Grand Stanford, Hong Kong, for the Asia & Australasia Gala Ceremony in September.

Later the same month, the Palacio de Cristal, in Guay-

aquil, Ecuador, will host the Latin America Ceremony, before Sandals Montego Bay, on the paradise island of Jamaica, takes up the reins for the Caribbean & North America Gala Ceremony. The final event, the Africa & Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony, will this year be hosted by the Durban International Convention Centre, with hundreds of industry leaders from across the continent expected to be in attendance.

a million travel, tourism and hospitality professionals we possess.

Winners from each of these regional events will proceed to the Grand Final 2018, this year taking place at the Pátio da Galé, Lisbon. The event will take place on December 1st and I hope to see many of you in Portugal for the show.

Can I also offer my thanks our International Media Partner TV5 Monde and thank you all for joining us on this special evening.

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

I wish to thank our partner this evening, HotelBrain, and our hosts the Hellenic Republic Ministry of Tourism. Appreciations, too, to our Silver Partner Beleon Tours, our sponsors Eurobank, Region of Attica, Attica Group and Mythical Peloponnese, and our Contributing Partners Energy Financial Group.

Finally, congratulations to all our nominees on your endeavours and achievements this year - and the very best luck!

WELCOME

It is a great honor for HotelBrain to host the World Travel Awards Europe Gala Ceremony in Athens, Greece, the most beautiful and dynamic tourist destination in Europe. We live in a unique country which has been related to hospitality, as a part of its ancient history.

Despite all the difficulties Greeks have faced over the

last years, they have managed to elevate hospitality in the highest level and to make it the most precious domestic “product”. The State and all the Greek National Tourism Sector, the Institutions (the Greek National Tourism Organization, Greek Tourism Confederation, Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, Ministry of Tourism, Regions and Municipalities), the businessmen of Greek hospitality, altogether

we work hard each and every day to highlight the beauty and history of Greece. I should mention also that hoteliers have kept the level of hospitality high: nowadays Greece is the most attractive and friendly “resort” to visit.

Athens – our incredible historical capital of Europe – could be the ideal city to host the Europe Gala Ceremony of this year.

Beleon Tours has recently joined the “club” of the elite World Travel Awards, and was honoured with the title of "Greece’s Leading Travel Agency" at its first year of participation at this prestigious award of the travel industry.

We believe that our victory is not only an indication of the highest level of services we offer, but also the ultimate testimony of confidence from our partners and clients who cast their votes in favor of us.

This year is a special one, both for the World Travel Awards and for Beleon Tours. The solemn awards ceremony will be held at Zappeion Megaron Hall in

Athens, which is a native city for us and during the upcoming event the World Travel Awards will celebrate a quarter of a century since its foundation. Beleon Tours also marks its anniversary in 2018, summing up the results of 15 years of successful operation in the travel industry, and therefore the opportunity to be inducted into the Hall of Fame once again has a sacred significance to us.

We are sure that the Greek capital will impress you with its authenticity and cordiality, while the ceremony itself will add the winner’s trophy of the World Travel Awards to your collection of achievements.

The state-of-the-art terminal is scheduled for completion by late 2019, as Norwegian Encore, the newest ship of the Breakaway Plus class, debuts in Miami with seasonal cruises to the Caribbean.

Present at the ceremony, which took place at PortMiami’s Terminal B, were Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Andy Stuart, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line, Miami-Dade County mayor Carlos Gimenez, and Miami-Dade County commissioner Rebeca Sosa.

“This iconic terminal represents our continued partnership with Miami-Dade County, our commitment to excellence and Miami as a world capital,” said Del Rio. “As a global cruise company, we’re transforming and elevating guest experiences through design and innovation on our ships, and this new terminal at PortMiami is the next step in that journey.”

EUROPCAR Europcar Group has announced the reorganisation of its low-cost business unit to fully benefit from the recent Goldcar acquisition. The low-cost car rental segment is one of the most dynamic in Europe, representing approximately €1.5 billion, enjoying a historical 12 per cent annual growth rate and expected to continue to grow at a similar pace, especially in leisure destinations like France, Spain, Italy, UK, Portugal, Greece and Turkey.

The low-cost business unit will be managed by Juan-Carlos Azcona, Goldcar’s former chief executive, and will include the InterRent and Goldcar brands. The combination of these two major players allows the group to build a large platform and to benefit from a significant scale within the segment.

This business unit is expected to generate a major portion – at least 15 per cent - of group revenues in the near future. In order to fully benefit from the agility of Goldcar’s organisational structure, their lean processes and a solid, flexible and scalable IT system, the InterRent brand will be operated

by Goldcar in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and the UK. In conjunction with the reorganisation of the low-cost unit, the group is currently adapting its brand platform in order to seize the opportunities of the growing leisure market, offering its customers tailor-made mobility solutions that meet their expectations in terms of service, support and price.

As a result, InterRent will progressively be repositioned as the mid-tier brand of the group and will target leisure customers who want to find the right balance between a fair price and a smooth and simple customer experience.

TA P P O R T U G A L TAP Portugal is preparing to welcome its first A330neo to the fleet.

The first A330neo for the launch operator - MSN1819 - has completed a 4:32 hours maiden flight. The aircraft now joins the fleet of two A330-900 test aircraft already performing flight tests. MSN1819 is the first aircraft fitted with the Airspace cabin

by Airbus. It is equipped with light Flight Test Instrumentation during its test phase to check cabin systems such as air conditioning, crew rest etc.

With over 1,700 orders, the A330 is the most popular wide-body aircraft ever, performing nearly 1,000,000 flights every year. Today, more than 1,400 aircraft have been delivered to almost 120 customers worldwide on a wide range of routes, from domestic and regional flights to long range intercontinental services.

The first A330neo delivery to TAP Portugal - which is considered Europe’s Leading Airline to Africa and Europe’s Leading Airline to South America - is planned in the summer.

Wyndham Hotel Group-owned Dolce Hotels & Resorts has opened its doors in Greece for the first time, with Dolce Attica Riviera, a new hotel set in the tranquil Attica Riviera, just outside Athens. Located in a quiet sandy bay on the Aegean Sea, close to Athens International Airport and Athens city centre, the newly renovated Dolce Attica Riviera provides a stylish and comfortable stay for both holidaymakers and business travellers.

Each of its 346 beautifully appointed rooms, bungalows and suites features fresh and modern interior touches, natural light and spacious bathrooms.

Boasting modern amenities, sweeping vistas and a dedicated staff, Dolce Attica Riviera is the perfect location to inspire discovery. A wealth of leisure facilities makes it the perfect retreat for a holiday that can combine ancient city sights with a relaxed beach break.

Guests can choose from several restaurants serving Greek delicacies in relaxed yet elegant settings, including the brandnew Ammos, Thea, Filema A La Carte, as well as the poolside Secret Restaurant.

For travellers looking to truly switch off, Dolce Attica Riviera’s spa is just the place.

Guests can experience the beneficial power of thalassotherapy, or a wide range of relaxing massages, facials and body treatments.

AEGEAN Aegean recently revealed a collaboration with three distinguished Greek chefs.

Together, they will take the stories of Greek gastronomy on a journey across the globe, through the new Gastronomics initiative. For the first time ever, Aegean brings together three major representatives of modern Greek gastronomy,

Lefteris Lazarou, Christoforos Peskias and Stelios Parliaros, who will help create the new business class menu, giving passengers the opportunity to try dishes that carry the aromas and flavours of Greece.

Embarking alongside them on this new gastronomic journey is Greece’s first ever master of wine, and Aegean’s wine consultant, Konstantinos Lazarakis, who will also help the chefs showcase the unique Greek gastronomic identity.

The new philosophy of the Gastronomics initiative is inspired by the country’s richness of flavours and aromas, but also

by Greece’s nature and the memories that make up the authentic Greek gastronomy. Greek flavours will travel to every international destination on Aegean network, revealing a piece of the country’s gourmet culture.

Flavours from Crete, Naxos, the Peloponnese, and ingredients from all over Greece, are combined in the hands of the three top chefs, creating a menu of over 40 different dishes that highlight local products and wines from both small and large-scale producers, from every corner of the country, presenting the most authentic piece of Greece.

The collaboration with the three chefs will continue throughout 2018.

H YAT T In a vote of confidence for the local tourism sector, Hyatt Hotels has entered into a franchise agreement with both Henderson Park and Hines for the first Grand Hyatt hotel in Greece, Grand Hyatt Athens. The opening is expected in quarter three of 2018. The hotel will be managed by Kokari and will deliver bold and vibrant luxury for guests in this iconic destination.

“We are thrilled to announce plans for the first Hyatt property in Athens with Henderson Park, Hines and Kokari,” said Takuya Aoyama, vice president, development for Eastern Europe, Russia & CIS at Hyatt. “We have long sought to bring the Grand Hyatt brand’s celebratory luxury to the Greek capital. This deal represents a significant milestone in south-east Europe, an important growth market for Hyatt with recent Hyatt development announcements in Turkey and Bulgaria.”

The 310-room hotel will be centrally located on Syngrou Avenue in Athens’ Koukaki district, close to golf courses, restaurants and within walking distance of Filopappos Hill.

L

a Manga Club, the award winning luxury sports and leisure resort, is located in Murcia, Spain, on the sunny south-eastern Costa Cálida, or “warm coast”, under three hours’ flight from most cities in Europe to the nearby Alicante and Murcia San Javier airports.

The warm, sunny weather of this Mediterranean resort makes it ideal for sports, luxury golf breaks, tennis holidays, short breaks and family holidays at any time of year.

You’ll find luxury five-star facilities and lots of different leisure options, including golf, tennis, swimming, fitness, squash, paddle tennis, cricket, football, rugby, pitch & putt, crazy golf, road and mountain biking, jogging and walking routes.

You could also relax in our luxury Wellness Centre or on the beach, explore the beautiful unspoilt countryside or soak up the local culture, architecture, fiestas, festivals and history in the nearby cities of Cartagena and Murcia, both of which also offer excellent shopping.

La Manga Club offers you a wide choice of deluxe accommodation to suit your needs: The luxury 5 star Hotel La Manga Club Príncipe Felipe is located right next to two of the resort’s three 18-hole championship golf courses. The superbly comfortable 4-star serviced Panoramic Rooms or self-catering, townhouses and apartments at Las Lomas Village, very close to the Wellness Centre, are specially designed to offer you the convenience of self-catering or a convivial atmosphere for sports groups or groups of friends or family. Or you could choose to rent a holiday villa or apartment in one of the resort’s village-style communities.

Complemented by world-class sports facilities, including 3 golf courses, 28 tennis courts and 8 professional football pitches, our conference and meetings facilities make La Manga Club the perfect venue for conferences, incentives, corporate events and sports training camps.

Afterwards, La Manga Club offers a wide range of top quality cuisine in its many restaurants – the choice includes Spanish, Mediterranean, Asian, Indian, tapas and seafood restaurants amongst others – or enjoy the nightlife in the bars on resort.

Near La Manga Club, the Mediterranean and Mar Menor Sea are perfect for water sports such as sailing, windsurfing, parasailing, kite surfing, water skiing and more. The nearby marine reserve is one of the best scuba diving sites in Spain. Nature lovers are sure to enjoy the neighbouring Calblanque Natural Park with its beautiful scenery, mountains, beaches, dunes and wide variety of plants, wildlife and birds – a real treat for ornithology enthusiasts.

La Manga Club also provides you the best environment for spending time together as a family, taking part in the many events and activities, making new friends at our junior academies, or enjoying some quality time with just the two of you while your children are having fun at the Junior Club.

You will also find an unparalleled setting for the most special occasions and celebrations: bespoke weddings, renewals of vows, anniversaries or birthdays.

golf at La Manga club

I

f you love golf and dream of playing on beautiful, top quality courses in an ideal, year-round climate, La Manga Club, in Murcia, Spain is the perfect golf destination.

With a choice of three superb, 18-hole championship courses, each with its own unique style and terrain, a Par 47 course and first-rate practice facilities, there is something to challenge you, whatever your age and whatever your level.

If you want to learn how to play golf or improve your skills, La Manga Club is just the right place as well.

Our golf academy provides group and private tuition of the highest standards for all levels, from complete beginners to the most experienced players, as well as special junior golf academy courses for children

and teens.

Over its 40 years of history, the resort has hosted many top-level international golf tournaments and tour qualifying schools including five Spanish Opens; the European Ladies Team Championship; Spanish PGA, Seniors’, Ladies’ and Junior Championships; Ladies European Tour Q-School; and the World Corporate Golf Challenge, as well as countless corporate, celebrity and charity golf events.

Whether you are fine-tuning your technique, organizing a golf clinic or simply coming to enjoy your favorite sport, La Manga Club offers a truly diverse and unique golfing experience. Look no further for your next golf holiday, golfing break or corporate golf event!

the la manga club courses Each of La Manga Club’s three 18-hole championship courses has been designed to offer you a unique challenge, playing over different terrain in varied but always beautiful and tranquil surroundings, all no more than a “short putt” from your accommodation. And if you want to work on your short game, the picturesque 18-hole Par 47 course is just the place.

south Course

18 holes, par 73 Designer: Robert D. Putman / Arnold Palmer

Originally designed by Robert Putman in 1971 and subsequently remodelled in 1992 by Arnold Palmer, La Manga Club's South Course was completely refurbished in 2004.

The Championship course at La Manga Club, the South, is probably one of the fairest tests of golf one can find. At 6,499 metres from the White Tees, whilst being accepted as a top-calibre championship course, also provides a thorough test both for the scratch player and right across the handicap range.

Located in the centre of the valley, with wide palm-fringed fairways and water hazards that come into play on 15 of the 18 holes, the South Course holds few hidden dangers.

north Course

18 holes, par 71 Designer: Robert D. Putman

An undulating championship course sprawling between palm trees, lakes and 'barrancas'. These natural storm gullies feature on all three golf courses and add an extra dimension to the game.

Slightly shorter than the South, with tighter fairways and larger greens, the North Course offers a different, yet no less challenging, round of golf. A feature of the greens, all built to USGA specification, is the amount of movement incorporated in them, none more so than the short Par 3, 2nd, which has three distinct plateaux - a great test of putting. Relying on precision rather than length, an added challenge is provided by the wide variety of water hazards and 'barrancas' that snake their way through the course.

west Course

18 holes, par 72 Designer: Dave Thomas

Set amid serene pine woodlands, the West Course's design closely follows the natural contours of the undulating land. Its distinct character makes it a good alternative to the other, more classical championship courses.

It is a deceiving course, with frequent changes in elevation with which to contend. The tight front nine demands accurate driving to avoid the 'barrancas' (natural storm gullies) while the back nine, up amongst the hills, is more open but nonetheless challenging.

WELLNESS CENTRE

Murcia · Spain

If there is one thing that defines La Manga Club, it is our unparalleled sports facilities.

Covering an area of around 1,400 acres, the resort’s awardwinning facilities include three 18-hole golf courses, a 28-court tennis centre, eight FIFAapproved football pitches and modern cricket amenities.

If that wasn’t enough, La Manga Club boasts an array of four and five-star accommodation, a luxury wellness centre, a Junior Club, a beach cove and more than 15 bars and restaurants – plus one of the best climates in Europe.

THE EMIRATE OF

RAS AL K

Travelers looking for a destination with yearround sunshine, sweeping white sandy beaches, so adventure and world class resorts are invited to visit Ras Al Khaimah, the northern most emirate of the UAE and located just 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

Ras Al Khaimah is a unique destination for visitors of all ages. With its 416,600 population the emirate boasts of beautiful mountains, red sandy desert and lush green plains along with a series of creeks and lagoons. It has a rich heritage dating back 5,000 years, which manifests in numerous historical sites, forts and abandoned villages.

The Emirati culture is omnipresent in Ras Al Khaimah and you will be welcomed with the warm Arabic hospitality wherever you go.

Ras Al Khaimah offers a variety of entertainment and relaxation facilities including exclusive Hotels & Resorts, international cuisines’ restaurants and selective spas, all at great value for money.

With a wide range of activities covering Watersports, Sailing Cruises, Desert camps, Golf courses and Mountain Adventures, the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah presents an ultimate outdoor experience for residents and visitors alike. 64 kilometers of coast line with crystal clear water and white sandy beaches are a heaven for all sun-seekers.

Located just 45 minutes from the Dubai International Airport and being well connected by Airport and the National Highway, Ras Al Khaimah enables easy stopovers as well as extended holidays. With its splendid natural treasures and recreational choices, Ras Al Khaimah is a picture-perfect leisure destination that is a must for travelers, looking for the real essence of Arabia.

KHAIMAH

HERITAGE AND CULTURE Ras Al Khaimah has been the site of human habitation for several millennia and its indigenous cultural traits portray the real flavor of Arabia.

Today, the native values, heritage and culture which have evolved over centuries, continue to thrive the modern look, infrastructure, facilities and the moderately liberal lifestyle that characterize Ras Al Khaimah.

Ras Al Khaimah’s culture is rooted in a long tradition of literary work, camel races, falconry, traditional artwork, fishing, pearl farming and the cultural exchange brought about by trade routes.

The local museums and forts provide visitors with a glimpse of the emirate’s cultural life, history and heritage.

The people of Ras Al Khaimah are welcoming and friendly. Many are employed in the fishing, trading and agricultural industries and while you can still see farmers growing date-palms, Bedouins (tribes) roaming the desert and fishermen trading by the coast, increasing modern industries are taking over. However, the emirate is keen to promote and preserve its heritage, particularly its fishing and sea trading villages of Julfar and Jazirat Al Hamra; the oasis selements in Shimal, Falayah and Dhayah; and the remote villages of the Al HajjarMountains.

Many people imagine cities in the UAE to be in the shadow of soaring skyscrapers, but Ras Al Khaimah City, the capital of the Emirate has the majestic backdrop between both the mountains and the sea. Divided into two parts by a natural creek, a bridge connects the old city with the newer part with old souks and historic buildings siing comfortably alongside newer glitzy malls and office blocks. Both sides are vibrant and exciting, home to four fihs of the Emirate’s population, yet there’s an atmosphere of a small, convivial, bustling town.

National Dress The present national clothes are a continuation of the old costumes of early Muslims. However, due to the cultural changes that have taken place in all the classes of the society, the national clothes, especially women's clothes, have changed significantly.

Women's clothes Women's clothes in the UAE look like the usual clothes worn by women all over the Arabian Peninsula. The dress, commonly called "Nafnoof", "Al Goon" or "makawar" is a long variety that reaches down to the feet. UAE women also wear an embroidered "Kandoorah" whose style varies according to its embroidery, fashion or material.

Men's clothes Mens clothes are simple in design and colours. Men all over the country nearly wear the same main dress called “Kandurah”. The design of the Kandurah differs slightly in some places or according to the weather.

Popular Arts The UAE in general and Ras Al Khaimah in particular is well known for its folklore, folk music, folk dance and other traditional and popular art forms which embody and reflect the social, ethical and aesthetic values of the community. Traditional dances for example are meaningful movements played rhythmically to symbolize the common ideas and likes of a certain community.

Al Wahabiyyah It is one of the oldest art forms of Ras Al Khaimah and is performed only here. The songs during this performance are divided into three sections. Drum players stand between two rows of performers comprising the band. One of the performers begins by reciting a line of poetry. He repeats it a number of times until the other performers have memorized it.

Then he recites another line of poetry from the same poem. The first line is a start and the second is the astinato or pedal. The two rows of dancers rhythmically move forward and backward, a row bows and drummers keep drawing nearer to it for 10 minutes while moving their heads. The opposite row repeats the some movements as the drummers draw nearer to them as well. Dancers with swords and guns add charm to the show. This folkdance is usually performed on special occasions, feast days and at wedding parties.

Local Cuisine Ras Al Khaimah’s kitchen is known for its delicious dishes and recipes passed from one generation to another.

Local people, being seafarers and merchants for centuries, brought into the country exotic plants, spices and recipes from all over the world.

Therefore, traces of Indian, Egyptian, Iranian and Turkish cuisines can also be found in local dishes.

ENDLESS FUN AND ACTIVITIES As a leisure destination, Ras Al Khaimah provides visitors with a choice of exciting activities and places of interest from water sports, desert experiences, and golf to historical sites and cultural aractions. Whether you’re looking for complete relaxation or an adrenaline rush, you will not be disappointed.

Historical Sites Experience the rich heritage of Ras Al Khaimah, which includes majestic forts and museums – each telling a story of its own. History lovers would enjoy visiting the Dhayah fort, built in the 16th century on a mountain overlooking the Gulf, to fight the British troops.

Bassata Desert Village Live the ultimate desert experience with the Bassata Desert Village! Enjoy a wide range of traditional Arabic activities with dune bashing, belly dancer, Arabic Tanoura, camel riding as well as Arabic barbecue.

Water Sports With a number of beaches and modern equipment, Ras Al Khaimah is the perfect destination for water sports. With a wide variety of activities, choose your favorite sport from scuba diving, sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing and fishing.

Al Hamra Marina & Yacht Club Under the Patronage of HH Sheik Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Marina & Yacht Club is a members’ club for sailing, yachting and water sports enthusiasts.

Golf Passionate about Golf? Ras Al Khaimah won’t disappoint you with its choice of two 18 - hole championship Golf courses. www.rasalkhaimahtourism.com
