Dadabhai was presented with the award at the 24th Annual World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony 2017 held last night in Dubai.

The World Travel Awards™, which were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry, are recognized globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire.

Aziz Gilitwala, Dadabhai Travel’s Managing Director, accepted the World Travel Award at The Armani Hotel, Dubai in front of a packed audience of influential figures in and around the hospitality sector – international and regional government and industry leaders, luminaries and print and broadcast media.

Gilitwala, said: “This is indeed a great honor and privilege for Dadabhai Travel to win such a highly acclaimed industry award. We are delighted to be recognized in such a way by our fellow travel industry colleagues and professionals. It is a wonderful tribute to the commitment, dedication and professionalism of all the staff at Dadabhai who work so hard to provide our customers with the best possible travel experience. We will wear the ‘badge’ of World Travel Award-winner with immense pride and use it to further encourage our ongoing delivery of service excellence.”

Dadabhai Travel was successfully voted Bahrain’s Leading Travel Agency 2017 by a poll of travel professionals and consumers, who cast their votes between Dadabhai and four other short-listed local travel agencies over a two-month period.

The World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony was part of a series of regional gala ceremonies staged to recognize and celebrate individual and collective success within each key geographical region and was being held at The Armani Hotel for the second successive year. — SG
