KENNEDYS TRAVEL PRIZE TAKES OFF

The Kennedy Foundation, which rewards the very best of Australian journalism, is very proud to announce that yet another sponsor has stepped up to support our Kennedy Awards program.

We welcome an international partner, Bamboo Airways, to the Kennedys.

Bamboo Airways will provide return flights to Vietnam for the winner of this year’s Outstanding Travel Writing award category while we welcome back long-time Kennedy supporter Melia International Hotels, who will again provide superb accommodation to the winner this year at their luxury 5-star hotel in Hanoi. What a prize!

Ms. Duong Thi Thu Huong, Bamboo Airlines Marketing & Communication Director, said;

"It is of great importance to honour the excellence and contributions in the field of journalism, and The Kennedy Awards' organisers have undoubtedly done amazing work. Bamboo Airways also looks forward to further collaboration opportunities with The Kennedy Foundation in promoting excellent aviation services to passengers in Australia and worldwide."

While Melia International Hotels Global Sales Director Randall Lui said;

“The Foundation is a free and independent media that supports the public interest, underpins a healthy democracy and acts with the highest ethical principles. It is our honour to sponsor the Kennedys.

Our partnership is to expand the Kennedy spirit over our 500 hotels worldwide to - celebrate their inclusiveness, independence, and respect for the past and for fostering the next generation of the nation's finest journalists.”

Bamboo Airways are relatively new to the skies and already have built an outstanding record.

Established in 2017, they are the first private airline in Vietnam to achieve a customer satisfaction rating of 4.5 out of 5. They’ve also won Best Cabin Crew in Asia, the Most Improved Airline in Asia, ranking 15th among the World's Best Regional Airlines and second among Asia’s Best Regional Airlines.
