Margaritaville Caribbean has won the award in that category in the last three editions of the WTA.
“It is already an honor to be nominated for the fourth time to the World Travel Awards, but just the fact that the FAC is recognized worldwide is the best prize of all, more now that we are celebrating our fifth anniversary,” Alfonso said upon learning of the nomination.
Considered the most important award in the world tourism industry, the competition rewards excellence in all sectors of the travel, tourism and hotel industry worldwide.
The deadline to vote for the nominees for the awards of the Caribbean and North America regions will be open until January 10, 2020, and the winners will be announced on the 20th of the same month, in a ceremony to be held at the Sandals Royal Bahamian, in Nassau, Bahamas.
Votes are cast by travel professionals and consumers, which guarantees that only praiseworthy organizations get one of these prestigious awards.
