Change Was in the Air for This Year’s Awards With New Categories, Winners and Host Venue.
The ongoing changes sweeping the travel industry extended to the Business Traveller Middle East 2019 Awards with three inaugural MICE categories, new winners inscribed on the diamond trophies and a novel venue in the form of Grand Plaza Mövenpick Media City.
Hosted by Motivate Media Group and Panacea Publishing, the magazine’s joint venture partners, the ceremony attracted 300 leading travel executives.
Guest of Honour Michael Ellis, Chief Culinary Officer for Jumeirah and former International Director of the Michelin Guides – who has visited more than 1,500 restaurants – entertained guests with anecdotes from his years sampling premier dishes and beverages. Guests enjoyed a three-course dinner overseen by Executive Chef Alfred Zuberbuehler.
Three new awards, covering Best MICE Tourism Destinations in MENA, Europe and Asia, went to Dubai, London and Singapore respectively.
Emirates once again starred in the airline category, winning Airline with the Best First Class and Economy Class; Airline with the Best Frequent Flyer Program; Best Airport Lounge in the Middle East (First Class Lounge, Dubai International Airport); and the coveted Best Airline Worldwide.
