WTA was established in 1993, to recognise, acknowledge and reward the leading travel, tourism and hospitality organisations in the world, those companies which push the boundaries of excellence in product and service, and create groundbreaking ideas.

The Wall Street Journal is among the many publications that have heralded WTA as “the Oscar’s of the travel industry”.
