authoritative travel awards that offer unparalleled recognition to the best performers who are transforming the
face of the global travel industry."
To select the World Travel Brands from India, BIG Research conducted the Brands Academy commissioned
market study over a period of 12 months with more than 100 field executives who surveyed many properties
across India as 'mystery guests'. The company later on conducted the opinion surveys amongst the end
consumers including but limited to business & leisure travelers, travel agencies, tour operators, suppliers, travel
media and industry experts to gauge their popularity and perceptions about them and authenticate the facts
gathered in the market study. The primary objectives of this study were to identify, acknowledge and offer
befitting recognition to the pursuit of excellence, innovations and best practices of the winners that lead to their
exemplary performance and to highlight the crucial role that their dedication to customer satisfaction plays in
ensuring their long term success considering the extremely competitive and ever-evolving scenario in the travel
and tourism industry.
"The true aim of this mammoth effort is to encourage the participants to showcase their achievements and inspire
others on how they can improve, grow, while continually striving for perfection in their sphere of operations.
World Travel Brands Awards are based on comprehensive profiling of the brands, quality of their services and
the consumer perception amongst several other criteria," concluded Mr. Monga.
