THE VALLEY, Anguilla, Dec. 01, 2014, CNS – Amid flourishing tourism and a growing reputation as one of the world’s premier travel destinations, Anguilla has been selected to host the 2014 World Travel Awards (WTA) Grand Final, to be held December 7, 2014.
Award-winning actress Vivica A. Fox will headline this prestigious event among an exciting array of presenters and performers.
For the first time in its rich history, Anguilla will host the distinguished gala ceremony, hailed as the “Oscars of the Travel Industry.”
The heralded event is set to take place on the picturesque island, celebrating the year’s top performers in travel, tourism and hospitality who continue to innovate and drive the industry forward.
Joining those honored will be hundreds of dignitaries, luminaries and international media, as well as government and industry leaders who continue to set the standard of excellence in travel.
“This is a very exciting milestone for Anguilla,” said Haydn Hughes, Anguilla’s Parliamentary Secretary with responsibility for Tourism and Sports.
“Tourism is a vital part of our economy, and we have been working closely with the local and international businesses community to implement a number of groundbreaking initiatives over the last two years to generate tourism growth.”
The island’s allure derives from the abundant warmth and hospitality of each Anguillian host, who have earned the global reputation as the “World’s Friendliest People.”
Boasting 33 immaculate beaches, Anguilla is laden with powder-soft vanilla sands and voluptuous swells of brilliant turquoise waters in hues that defy imagination.
The World Travel Awards Gala Ceremonies are widely regarded as the most celebrated event in the travel industry, a venue for government and industry leaders to connect with international print and broadcast media. Winning a World Travel Award has a proven track record of significantly raising a company’s profile, and escalating profitability and recognition.
