The Arab Union for Tourism Media announced from the German capital, Berlin, the winners of the Arab Tourism Media Awards for the year 2023, on the sidelines of the activities of the most important global tourism event, which is the Berlin Tourism Exchange (ITB) held in Germany between March 7 and 9, with more than 150 countries participating.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan pavilion hosted the celebration activities, and the Jordanian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities announced the names of the winners in the presence of officials of the World Tourism Organization, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Arab Union for Tourism Media, Dr. Sultan Al Yehyai, and a number of tourism ministers and ambassadors, as well as a large number of those interested in the tourism sector.
The Arab Tourism Media Awards are the largest Arab awards for honoring distinguished personalities and governmental and private institutions in the sectors of tourism promotion, hotels and tourist destinations in the Arab region.
Jordan’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities announced the names of the award-winning creators during a ceremony held at the World Tourism Exchange exhibition in Berlin, as a prelude to honoring the winners in a ceremony to be hosted by an Arab city, the details of which will be announced later.
The Sultanate of Oman, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE topped the winning countries in various categories for the year 2023, while Lebanon’s Ministry of Tourism won the Best Arab Tourism Site and the Best Arab Promotional Campaign Award for its summer campaign Ahla Bhal Talli.
Touching on the awards, Al Yehyai explained that the announcement of these awards during the Berlin Tourism Exchange – the largest tourism event in the world – reflects the great prestige enjoyed by said awards in the world, which has become an example of honoring creators in the field of tourism and heritage media. He also emphasized that crowning the winners of the Tourism Media Awards came after an evaluation by a specialized jury.
