In addition, the winners will be presented the PATA CEO Challenge 2015 Top Destination Award during an award ceremony at the PATA Aligned Advocacy Dinner on November 2, 2015 in London, United Kingdom, prior to World Travel Market 2015.
The PATA CEO Challenge 2015 embraces the uniqueness and diversity of heritages, cultures, customs and natural beauty of the world’s diverse destinations. It aims to promote and enhance the number of visitors to emerging destinations (regions, states, or provinces, and second-tier/third tier cities), and enhances tourism development in the most sustainable manner.
Mario Hardy, CEO, PATA, said, “There are hundreds and thousands of destinations that are known, visited and experienced by world travellers. However, there are even more destinations that are ready to be discovered and deserve to be recognised for their authenticity and beauty. PATA, through the PATA CEO Challenge 2015, is honoured to highlight these new and emerging destinations.“
Sarah Mathews, Head of Destination Marketing APAC, TripAdvisor, stated, “As the world’s largest travel site with 340 million unique monthly visitors, TripAdvisor is committed to working with destinations across the world to showcase their story to travellers from around the world. Working with PATA on the PATA CEO Challenge 2015, our aim is to support destinations who have a great tourism offering and the desire to present their story.”
The PATA CEO Challenge 2015 is open to all regions, states, provinces, second-tier cities, and third-tier cities worldwide, while countries and first-tier cities are not qualified to participate. Both PATA member and non-member organisations and destinations are welcomed to submit entries.
Entries must show how their marketing campaign is contributing to the sustainable growth of tourism to the destination and economic empowerment to the local communities.
Two awards will be presented during the PATA Aligned Advocacy Dinner on Sunday, November 2, 2015, prior to World Travel Market 2015 in London, United Kingdom, in the categories of States, Regions and Provinces; and Second-tier/Third-tier Cities. The dinner will be attended by hundreds of industry professionals and guests.
Ms Mathews said, “Our global team will work with the two winners to develop a great digital campaign. It is our aim to support each destination with our knowledge on how travellers are inspired, research and book online and therefore to help the destination to paint their digital story to our global audience.”
Mr Hardy added, “A country’s beauty is not defined by one famous location, but by its people, culture, heritage and diversity. The PATA CEO Challenge 2015 will not only help new destinations showcase their unique offerings but enable today’s travellers to explore new frontiers and discover new experiences. Furthermore, the dispersment of tourists to these new destinations will also help spread the economic benefit of travel and tourism to the people in these communities.”
