Airways Hotel Wins World Travel Award Once More

For the second consecutive year, Airways Hotel & Apartments Ltd has won the award for “Papua New Guinea’s Leading Hotel 2008” from the esteemed World Travel Awards (WTA). Under the Australasia Category, Airways Hotel was internationally recognized by industry professionals and travel agents to be the best amongst several other hotels in Papua New Guinea.

World Travel Awards (WTA) was established in 1993 with the main aim of acknowledging and celebrating excellence in all sectors of the Hospitality and Tourism industry. WTA obtains votes from 167,000 travel agencies and professionals in over 198 participating countries and thoroughly checks the votes and voters for eligibility and accreditations. To have won twice as the ‘Leading Hotel in PNG’ essentially gives, as WTA has put it, “a reliable endorsement from thousands of professionals from around the globe” and has absolutely confirmed that Papua New Guinea has one of the best hotels within the Australasia region.

WTA holds annual gala dinners in various countries to present the awards and such dinners are attended by top business executives, most of who are the industry’s key decision makers on the international scale. The 2008 World Travel Awards Gala Dinner was held on the 11th of June at the Observatory Hotel in Sydney, Australia. Airways Hotel was pleased to be a part of this presentation and was proud to send two of its national managers, Ms. Rachel Amene and Mr. Lister Boga to receive the prestigious award. Other prominent hotels that also won awards were the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney who won the award for ‘Australasia’s Leading Hotel’ and the Observatory Hotel who won the award for ‘Australia’s Leading Hotel’.
