4th TTG China Travel Awards Recognises Both Big and Small In China’s Travel Trade Industry

Share this

Shanghai, 14 April, 2011 – The 2011 TTG China Travel Awards features a brand new category: Best Hotels in Other Regions Within China – and within it, six new awards. Winners in this category include smaller and less-publicized Chinese cities such as Chongqing, Guilin and Dalian.

This addition recognises the increasing popularity of these secondary cities among international tourists. According to TTG China, both international and domestic visitorship to second-tier cities like Zhongshan, Wuhan, Wuxi and Xiamen, rose sharply by over 30% as compared to 2009. This percentage is much higher than the 23% average growth of visitors in China.

“It is therefore appropriate and fitting that the awards acknowledge these rising stars within the Chinese travel industry,” said TTG Asia Media’s Managing Director, Darren Ng.

As a result of the enhancements, this year’s awards ceremony comprises a total of 60 awards and winning organisations.

In addition, four awards have been renamed and introduced within the Airline category to better reflect the representation of carriers from various continents that are serving and operating in China.

Associate Publisher of TTG China & TTG-BTmice China, Chimmy Tsui praises, “Exceptional leaders like Air China, Garden Hotel Guangzhou, Banyan Tree Lijiang and the city of Shanghai have consistently been four-time champions in their respective award categories since the inception of TTG China Travel Awards.”

The TTG China Travel Awards plays a crucial and essential role in crediting outstanding travel organisations that have achieved the benchmark for service excellence and professionalism in China. These milestones of accomplishments will inspire and contribute to the shaping of the Chinese travel industry’s future. China’s travel industry drew in almost 1.44 billion RMB in total revenue last year, making the country one of the world’s burgeoning leisure and MICE destinations.

Winners of the TTG China Travel Awards are nominated by more than 32,000 readers of TTG China, TTG Asia, TTGmice and TTG-BTmice China through online and print voting. The nomination period was held early in the year between January and March 2011.
