Madeira Receives 5 Nominations at the World Travel Awards 2024
Madeira has once again been nominated in five different categories for the World Travel Awards 2024 (WTA).
For this year’s awards, whose ceremony will take place on 24 November at the Savoy Palace Hotel in Funchal, the destination is nominated in the following categories: World’s Leading Adventure Destination; World’s Leading Festivals and Events Destination; World’s Leading Beach Destination; World’s Leading Destination Island and World’s Leading Tourism Board (Madeira Promotion Bureau).
The Regional Secretary of Economy, Tourism and Culture and President of the Madeira Promotion Bureau, Eduardo Jesus, highlights that these nominations reinforce, once again, the excellence of the Region as a tourist destination with more than two centuries of history. Above all, they are a recognition of the exponential growth of the tourism sector in the archipelago. “It is an honour for the region to once again be nominated for the world edition of the World Travel Awards and in five different categories”, he says.
“It is also the result of the work that has been carried out in recent years to maintain and improve the quality of the destination, through numerous projects that aim to place Madeira on the radar of the global tourism industry.”
Voting for these awards is open until 20 October and votes can be submitted here: https://www.worldtravelawards.com/vote.
