Welcome President of the World Travel Awards Caribbean & The Americas Gala Ceremony 2012 On behalf of World Travel Awards, I wish you a very warm welcome to our Caribbean & The Americas Ceremony 2012, the second leg of our Grand Tour 2012, a year-long search to find the very best travel brands in the world, covering seven continents and featuring more than 5,000 nominees.

I would like to extend a special thank you to our host, Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Village & Spa. This evening represents an opportunity for our guests to gain an appreciation of the quality of the Beaches brand, and why the resort has evolved into the country’s largest private sector employer.

It is four years since we last hosted a ceremony in Turks & Caicos and I am delighted to find that this pocket of paradise remains as idyllic as ever, with world-class facilities and the warmth of the locals to compliment.

I also wish to thank Turks & Caicos Tourist Board for its support. The nation is entering an exciting new chapter in its history, and this progressive organisation will continue to play a pivotal role in the economic evolution.

Here in Turks & Caicos, and right across the Caribbean, travel and tourism remains the economic lifeblood. Over the past twelve months, the sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience, given the challenges faced by the key source markets of Europe and North America. Tonight’s nominees represent those organisations that have made the greatest contribution to the region in the face of such adversity. I wish to thank you all for your hard work.

For World Travel Awards, 2012 is shaping up to be our most ambitious yet in our 19-year history, and I look forward to seeing our winners at our Grand Final in New Delhi, India on 12th December 2012 Honouring and promoting excellence and innovation in travel and tourism are why we are gathered all here. Thank you for joining us on this very special occasion, and congratulations for your incredible achievements.

Graham E. Cooke President and Founder World Travel Awards

Welcome Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart Chairman of Sandals Resorts Caribbean & The Americas Gala Ceremony 2012 Fellow hoteliers, tourism partners and friends, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to one of the most enchanting places in the Caribbean, the beautiful islands of Turks and Caicos and to express my delight in sharing this special occasion with you here at Beaches.

Like all of you and the awards celebrated here tonight, the brands of Sandals Resorts International are committed to excellence.

So, it is a true honor to host the prestigious World Travel Awards at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa and to recognize the growth, evolution and journey we have all made as a family in this industry, here in the Caribbean, and throughout the world.

The Beaches Resorts brand was conceived with families in mind; the idea that guests of Sandals Resorts needed an evolving vacation experience that could mature with them, one that offered families of all types, the promise of “More Quality Inclusions” and the same Luxury Included® Vacation experience. It is here in “Provo,” the heart of Turks and Caicos that the brand has reached its fullest expression to date. From the expansion of the Italian Village’s 162 family suites and a $4 million state-of-the-art Pirate’s Island waterpark, to personalized programs such as the exclusive Caribbean Adventure with Sesame Street® and customizable FamilyMoons®, where guests can take advantage of the newly introduced Your Wedding. Your Style. Program, Beaches Turks & Caicos represents the brand’s development over the past 15 years and demonstrates our advancing standards by which the Beaches Resorts brand is measured.

Beaches Turks and Caicos is the pinnacle of our brand, breathing family and luxury into each and every vacation experience. We are proud to continue to grow our resort here with bold plans to expand the resort’s real estate, redefine our entertainment and activities for children for all ages and elevate our gourmet dining with the finest international specialties.

As I share our company’s progression through new amenities, experiences and services with all of you - the hospitality’s best and brightest, I am humbled and mindful of our simple beginnings and our steadfast determination to always strive to exceed our guests’ expectations. If there is anything I may do to make your stay with us more comfortable, please do let me know.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you, once again, to enjoy World Travel Awards Caribbean and The Americas Ceremony here at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa.

All that’s good,

The Hon. Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart OJ, CD, Hon. LLD Chairman of Sandals Resorts International

Guest Editorial Caribbean tourism has been strong in 2012 despite many obstacles

Spotlight on

Caribbean & the Americas: Tourism on the Rise With vast swathes of the western hemisphere still swamped by economic malaise, the stock of tourism has never been higher, with countries across the region turning to the sector in the hope of boosting growth. Here Breaking Travel News takes a look at some of the biggest developments in the Caribbean and the Americas over the past 12 months.

In Jamaica earlier this year newly elected prime minister Portia Simpson Miller called for the tourism sector to be given the credit it deserves after years of neglect. Addressing an UNWTO audience she argued: “Tourism has grown to become one of the most powerful economic sectors in the world delivering jobs, income and well-being around the globe.

“Without recognition and support at the highest level, tourism is often blocked from delivering on its full potential, especially when policies on issues such as infrastructure and taxation are made in isolation of the sector. This is even more critical in these challenging economic times.”

As a rallying call to the industry, it was almost immediately heeded, with politicians at the G20 meeting in Los Cabos, Mexico,

recognising the role of the sector in the Leaders’ Declaration in June.

Pledging to “work towards developing travel facilitation initiatives in support of job creation, quality work, poverty reduction and global growth” leaders began to recognise the significance of the industry for the first time.

This was part of a wider trend, driven by North America. There the Obama administration, with Brand USA now fully operational, issued a National Travel & Tourism Strategy, the first in years, designed to assist the development of the sector.

Practical steps, such as cutting visa application processing times from Chinese and Brazilian tourists from a matter of months to just days, are already underway.

As a result the United States are now recording increases in visitor numbers after nearly a decade of decline.

Canada, too, has seen its share of excitement, with the reopening of the RitzCarlton Montréal following a $200 million renovation among the more glamorous developments.

Political Will Further south, tourism in the Caribbean had a fine year in 2011, with the region welcoming an estimated 23.8 million tourists, according to figures from the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, a 3.3 per cent rise over 2010. The larger destinations – including Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, which account for more than half of all visitors – led the trend, growing by 4.2 per cent.

Here in Turks & Caicos – which itself recorded record visitor figures last year –

WTA_Caribbean_Prog_v1_Layout 1 31/08/2012 11:46 Page 9

authorities also have some exciting developments planned, recently announcing a $10 million investment at Providenciales International Airport. “The expansion will see the current terminal doubled in size, which will allow us to more comfortably handle the projected growth in arrivals to our islands,” explained tourism minister Ralph Higgs.

Perhaps the most famous brand in the region, Sandals Hotels & Resorts, also took the spotlight in 2012, announcing a $500 million renovation programme for its resorts.

All properties presently managed by the brand will benefit from the makeover, explained Sandals chairman Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart. “Innovation is essential to staying relevant,” he added, “we have restlessly pursued exceeding guest expectations and as we move forward we will continue to invest in our products and our people.”

However, challenges remain in the Caribbean, with British Air Passenger Duty rising again earlier this year, acting as a break on growth in a significant source market.

Aviation Takes Flight In South America, Brazil has been among the most proactive destinations over the past 12 months, having secured the hosting rights to both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, in Rio de Janeiro.

In response the country launched a new US$40 million advertising campaign entitled The World Meets in Brazil. Come Celebrate Life – designed to nearly double

America has begun to reverse years of tourism decline

the number of visitors to ten million by 2020. It is also hoped the destination will be able to use the international sporting spotlight to showcase its diverse offering, away from the famous beaches and samba parties!

South America has also witnessed the birth of LATAM, a mighty new aviation group created by the merger of LAN Airlines of Chile and TAM Airlines of Brazil in 2012.

Closing in June this year, the deal created the second largest airline in the world by market value, behind only Air China. For those behind the deal, it is a chance to establish a true industry powerhouse, designed to compete with giants north of the border in the United States and the consolidating European market.

Sandals Resorts has recently unveiled a $500 million investment package

Looking Ahead Tourism in the western hemisphere has had to make the best of a raw deal over the past few years, but the ingenuity of the people involved in the sector has meant every opportunity for growth has been seized.

With political momentum now building in support of the industry, the next 12 months could be the most exciting in a generation.

World Travel Awards “The Oscars of the Travel Industry” Since its inception in 1993, World Travel Awards has been recognising and rewarding those organisations that have made the greatest contribution to the global travel and tourism industry.

With voting growing year on year – over 217,000 travel professionals are now registered to vote – World Travel Awards continues to build its reputation as the ‘Oscars of the travel industry’.

The awards programme is a global search for the very best travel and tourism brands, with winners from the five regional ceremonies progressing to the Grand Final at the end of the year.

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

“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.

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.

360 WORLD VIDEO LTD IS A MEDIA PRODUCTION COMPANY WITH A DIFFERENCE We specialise in 3D stereoscopic video production for the Travel, Tourism, Hospitality & Sports industry. Our previous campaigns have included 3D Animation, 3D Movies, 3D commercials for TV advertising and 3D for the internet.

WHY 3D? SPORTS, TRAVEL AND TOURISM BRANDS CAN UTILIZE THE ADVANCEMENTS IN 3D TECHNOLOGY TO FURTHER ENHANCE THEIR BRANDS TO CONSUMERS.

■

Hotels can utilise 3D movies to invite their audience to take a tour through their grounds, seeing the decadence of the décor, the spacious rooms and intimate details that make the property unique.

Hotels, sporting associations, airlines and tourism boards can now truly showcase their offerings by inviting audiences to experience for themselves what it is actually like to be there. Through the power of 3D, audiences can step outside of their current location into a new destination, sporting arena or hotel and encounter what the venue can offer to them.

■

Airlines can create 3D TV advertisements to showcase the use of space onboard where before they could only describe it.

■

Tourism boards can invite audiences to experience the sights and sounds of their destination before planning a visit through the use of 3D internet.

3D reality goes beyond what photography and virtual tours have previously offered by creating a deeper sense of involvement for the consumer, therefore making them much more likely to want to live through the experience for themselves.

IT’S TIME TO JOIN IN NOW! Join 360 World Video Ltd and see how we can make a real difference to your marketing & advertising strategy.

AT 360 WORLD VIDEO LTD WE LOVE WHAT WE DO AND WOULD RELISH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU FURTHER ABOUT YOUR 3D PROJECT. For more information on animation or live action 3D please contact us at: T: +44 (0) 20 7925 0000 F: +44 (0) 20 7925 2552 E: info@360worldvideo.com

ACCESS NEW YORK

HAND-TO-HAND DISTRIBUTION TO A CAPTURED AUDIENCE ALREADY IN THE SPIRIT OF SPENDING!

WTA_Caribbean_Prog_v1_Layout 1 31/08/2012 12:46 Page 55

Access Magazine is a unique free magazine that serves as an information guide to thousands of travellers entering New York City from Johannesburg, South Africa. Access is the only outbound magazine that is offered to travellers as they board the aeroplane heading to the USA. Our exclusivity and availability on a sixteen hour non-stop flight allows us an intimate relationship with a ready to spend traveller; a captured audience waiting to be educated on the amazing experiences that await them at the end of their journey.

“ACCESS New York is an amazing media vehicle for South Africans to be in the know of things to do and see in New York City. South Africa has many wealthy resources and its people are global visitors always looking to enrich themselves and their community through travel. This magazine allows them to have the opportunity to educate and plan their New York experiences before they have even landed.”
