During times of economic uncertaintyworld-class brands come into their own,continuing to grow market share whilstcompetitors flounder. Here in Turkey, youhave created a world-class tourism brand;and we are honoured that you havewelcomed World Travel Awards back for thesecond year in succession.

Antalya in particular represents brand Turkeyat its finest. Its winning mix of heritage, sun-kissed beaches, state-of-the-art facilitiesand superb value has propelled it into theleague of one of the world’s greatdestination cities.

Elsewhere in Europe, travel and tourism isproving vital in re-establishing economicstability. Greece, in particular, exemplifiesthe importance of the sector, which nowmakes up a sixth of the economy and one infive jobs, and is crucial in helping the nationrecover from its worst recession in fourdecades.

Spain, one of the tourism economies hithardest by the downturn, is continuing torebound as its key source markets of the UKand Germany seek short-haul value in timesof austerity. The world’s fourth largesttourism market is also emerging as a more-rounded, year-round destination that reliesless heavily on its beaches for tourismreceipts.

For World Travel Awards, the year is shapingup to be one of most ambitious yet in our

18-year history. I am pleased to report thatthe number of organisations nominated forthe “Oscars of the Travel Industry” has risen13 percent year-on-year.

Meanwhile the number of voters is up 11percent year-on-year, driven by a surge inconsumer voting. This reflects how thepublic now rely increasingly on World TravelAwards as their gold seal of travel excellence.

Winning a World Travel Award is the ultimatetravel accolade, with the endorsement ofover 213,000 voting travel professionalsdemonstrating to both the travel industryand the travel consumer that your brandstands in a class of its very own.

I wish to extend a special thank you to ourevent partners Cornelia Hotels andweclickmedia, as well as our media partnersFocus on Travel News, eTurboNews, Xenios,TravelDailyNews, New Focus, Tourism-Review.com, Agenzia di Viaggi and BreakingTravel News.

Images of public sector strikes havefilled newspaper front pages, while evencasual observers now know perhapsmore than they would like about themechanisms of sovereign debt.

But away from the headlines, tourism aroundthe world has recovered significantly quickerthan expected during the past twelvemonths, with Europe proving no exception.

United Nations World Tourism Organisation(UNWTO) figures illustrate growth of threeper cent for the European tourism sector as a whole in 2010, with a number ofdestinations positively thriving.

Recent success stories have included Malta,Estonia and Albania, all of which saw doubledigit growth in visitor numbers last year,while Georgia led the way with a 35 per centincrease.

Our hosts here in Antalya, Turkey, also have much to be proud of, having seenvisitor numbers increase 5.7 per cent to 27 million last year. Istanbul – whichclaimed the title of Europe’s LeadingDestination at the WTA Europe GalaCeremony last year – has been the focus of activity, following its year in the spotlightas European Capital of Culture 2010.

Emerging from the crisis years of 2008-09,Europe still controls roughly 50 per cent ofthe global inbound tourism market; with atotal of 476 million guests arriving last year,according to UNWTO figures, generating$406 billion in revenue, or roughly $800per guest.

All this during a ‘crisis’.

Watching the Skies

Apart from the odd snowstorm, spiralling fuel costs have posed the greatest challengeto airlines across Europe over the past 12months, with many content to consolidatepositions rather than looking for expansion.

Not so International Airlines Group – createdfollowing the merger of British Airways andIberia in late 2010 – which has assumed itsplace alongside Lufthansa and Air France-KLM as the third giant of European aviation.Retuning to the black for the first half offinancial 2011, the group now offers a routenetwork encompassing 200 destinations andappears set to challenge globally.

Turkish Airlines – which is tonight nominatedfor the title of Europe’s Leading Airline – hasalso been going from strength-to-strength.

Spotlighton Europe

One could be forgiven for thinking the pastyear has been one of crisis for Europe.

Guest Editorial

New flights to Valencia (Spain), Najaf (Iraq),Kabul (Afghanistan), Genoa (Italy) andSalonika (Greece) have all been launched inthe last few months, with the carrier nowflying to 186 destinations. Sponsorship dealswith both Manchester United FC and FCBarcelona – who battled it out in theChampions League final in May – alsoimmeasurably boosted the profile of thecarrier around the world.

In the UK, Carolyn McCall, the chiefexecutive of easyJet, got off to a flying start in her new role. An order of 15 A320planes from Airbus illustrates the airline’scommitment to growth in Europe over thecoming years, while the launch of Flexi faressaw the easyJet – Europe’s Leading Low-costAirline – move in a more business friendlydirection.

Back on the ground, Zurich Airport hasrecorded the highest customer satisfactionlevels in Europe following its success last yearat the World Travel Awards, where theproperty walked off with the title of Europe’sLeading Airport.

Avis Europe has been making waves in the always competitive car rental sector,announcing it would be reunited with US-based Avis Budget Group in June thisyear. A $1 billion deal is expected to closelate next month, reuniting the two companiesfor the first time in nearly three decades.

Electric vehicles have been another growthmarket. Europcar has been particularly

innovative in this area, linking up with Opel tooffer the Ampera across Europe by the endof 2011.

“We see customers’ growing appetite for lowCO2, environmentally-friendly solutions,especially in urban areas, and strongly believethat electric vehicles will help enhance accessto the greenest mobility solutions,” explainedRafael Girona, chief operating officer ofEuropcar during the launch.

With more pressure than ever on profitmargins, travel agents have been battling itout. In the UK Thomas Cook has seen itsproposed merger with Co-operative Travelgiven the provisional green light by theCompetition Commission, potentially creatingthe largest retail chain in the country.

TUI Travel has also had a busy year, singingcontracts with Anite and Intrepid Travel,while also acquiring Magic Life Hotels.

Cruise operators across Europe are seeingholidaymakers return, with Copenhagen inDenmark – last year’s Leading CruiseDestination – emerging as the destination ofchoice for many.

P&O Ferries welcomed the introduction oftwo new vessels – Spirit of France and Spiritof Britain – which will ply the Dover-Calaisroute for the operator, while Viking RiverCruises held a christening ceremony forViking Prestige in Amsterdam earlier in thesummer.

A Place to Stay

Enthusiasm has also been returning to theaccommodation sector. French giant Accor,for example, saw “sustained demand” in themain European markets while reporting a 4.4 per cent increase in revenue for the firsthalf of 2011 in July.

Starwood will increase its substantialportfolio of 247 hotels in Europe, Africa andthe Middle East with almost a dozen newhotels opening in the division in 2011. Keyopenings in Europe include the first Aloft inLondon and three W hotels, including thelong awaited debut of W in London and Paris.

InterContinental Hotels has also shown itsfaith in the European recovery, adding afurther 54 hotels to its European pipeline in the year to May 2011. The 7,874 roomsare spread across the UK, Germany, France,Italy, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, theNetherlands, and Switzerland.

Here in Turkey, Mardan Palace, Hotel LesOttomans, and Adam & Eve at Belek, areonce again leading the way, having beenrecognised by the World Travel Awards in 2010.

But will they retain their titles tonight?
