For the fourth year in a row, Caribbean Airlines has been named the Caribbean’s Leading Airline at the annual World Travel Awards function held over the weekend at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa. Accepting the award on behalf of the airline, Alicia Cabrera, Senior Manager Marketing at CAL said: “This fourth win really cements our position as the region’s premier carrier. That the category is judged based on travel industry professionals voting makes it even more prestigious as our customers and travel agent partners clearly recognise the tremendous effort put forth by the staff to make each flight special.”
Commenting on the title, World Travel Awards founder Graham Cooke said: “I am delighted Caribbean Airlines has been recognised by our voters as the Caribbean’s Leading Airline for the fourth consecutive year; an honour of which they are truly worthy. It was to recognise outstanding tourism stakeholders such as Caribbean Airlines that we founded World Travel Awards in 1993. Now, as we celebrate our 20th year, WTA continues to reward those who continue to drive our industry forward.”
Caribbean Airlines took the win for Caribbean’s Leading Airline over other regional air carriers, Air Caraibes, Bahamas Air, Cubana and Liat, whilst American Airlines took the title of North America’s Leading Airline. Headline Caribbean Awards winners included Grace Bay Beach, Turks and Caicos, which took the title of Caribbean’s Leading Beach Destination, while Jamaica walked away with the title of Caribbean’s Leading Destination. Caribbean’s Leading Hotel Brand once again went to Sandals Resorts International; Caribbean’s Leading Boutique Hotel went to Hermitage Bay, Antigua; and Caribbean’s Leading Golf Resort went to Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic.
