The World Travel Awards were founded in 1993. The awards are made annually by an international jury of hospitality experts and peers, mainly from the World Travel and Tourism Council. Awards are given both on an overall world-level basis, and on eight international region-levels, in a wide range of categories including tourist, hotels/accommodation, tourist attractions, and airlines/transport. They have been described as the “Oscars of the travel industry“.
