Leading North American travel agencies and tour operators will be recognized for their exceptional achievements over the last 12 months during the World Travel Awards North American and Central American ceremony in Mexico on September 21.

Mexico, having always been a top destination for travelers, is gearing up for this exciting event that will take place at the Endless Luxury Caribbean resort, Hacienda Tres Ríos near Cancun.

Graham Cooke, president of the World Travel Awards, commented, “Over the past 16 years these awards have been built on fostering the very highest quality in every aspect of travel and tourism, but this year has taken on an even greater significance due to the challenging economic climate, meaning each nominated company has had to go that extra mile.”

The award scheme, described by the Wall Street Journal as the ‘Oscars’ of the international travel industry, has nominated more than nearly 200 North American destinations, operators, hotels, airlines and car rental in 26 categories, which include; North America’s Leading Business Travel Agency, North America’s Leading Tour Operator and North America’s Leading Destination. The complete list of nominees for the World Travel Awards North American and Central American Ceremony 2009 is available on their website. The event will be followed by the World Travel Awards Grand Final, set to take place November 8 immediately before World Travel Market, at the five-star Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott hotel in London.

Yucatán Holidays is a proud partner and sponsor of the World Travel Awards 2009, the most important and world-known travel event.
