(Posted 02nd October 2015)
During the 11th edition of the Hospitality India and Explore the World travel award ceremony, held at the Ashok Hotel and Conference Centre in Delhi, did Reunion for the second time this year claim a major Indian travel trophy. Back in April was Reunion voted as best emerging destination and this time was it the top prize for best emerging destination for travelers from India.
Aided by a broad Visa waiver, specifically designed to allow certain nationalities into Reunion, a French region and as such part of the European Union, has the marketing drive in India paid off very well with visitor numbers rising in leaps and bounds.
Nearly 700 invited guests from a broad cross section of hotels, travel agents, tour operators, trade associations and airlines witnessed Reunion being called up to receive the award which was claimed by IRT’s representative in India Mr. Vinet Gopal, handed over by the Indian Minister of Tourism, Culture and Civil Aviation Dr. Mahesh Sharma.
Every guest received an event magazine with a major insert from Ile de la Reunion Tourisme, the island’s tourism marketing organization, highlighting the many attractions visitors can expect when traveling to this Indian Ocean island.
