Salvador, Bahia, Brazil – March 10th, 2010 – The World Travel Awards were launched in 1993 to acknowledge and recognize excellence in the world's travel and tourism industry. Now celebrating their 17th Anniversary, the awards are amongst the most widely recognized awards in the travel and tourism industry and regarded as the very highest achievement that a travel product could ever hope to receive.
Increasingly, the awards are known as raising the bar for ultimate customer service and overall business performance. Growing numbers of travel companies, airlines, operators and resorts compete to walk away with one of the coveted titles, amongst them such well known companies and places as TAM Airlines, Abercrombie & Kent, Hilton Hotels, Avis or the Ipanema Beach, which is nominated as the World’s Leading Beach. Organizers say research has shown that winners increase international brand recognition, building consumer loyalty.
In 2010, Intelligent Leisure Solutions and the Discover.Travel Group are nominated for the World Travel Awards for World’s Leading Travel Management Company and South America`s Leading Travel Management Company, for the fourth consecutive year, and for the first time in the category Mexico & Central America`s Leading Travel Agency.

Until the voting deadline, thousands of votes will be cast by travel professionals from 183,000 travel agencies, tour and transport companies and tourism organizations in over 162 countries across the globe to elect the winners of the World Travel Awards. Intelligent Leisure Solutions and the Discover.Travel Group count on votes from both its partners who appreciate successful business partnerships and excellent service, and independent institutions which recognize the innovative approach and high quality travel products provided by this travel company, promoting individual luxury travel packages to South and Central America with positive effects for both the destinations and the traveler.

Competition in this year’s World Travel Awards will undoubtedly prove hotter than ever. This year there was a phenomenal increase of self nominations of 50 per cent on 2009. Graham E. Cooke, Founder and President of the World Travel Awards, said: “This increase, in the face of a global recession, demonstrates the vital role that World Travel Awards now plays within the travel industry. More multinational companies than ever, ranging from Etihad Airways and TAP Portugal to InterContinental Hotels, Universal Studios and Disney, are spearheading their global marketing campaigns with their award victories.”
