India Travel Awards heads West
The 4th West India Travel Awards will be held on October 15, 2017, at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre. The awards are a constant effort to honour stalwarts of the industry in every region of the country.
Known as India’s first regional awards that honour stalwarts of the tourism industry, India Travel Awards will be travelling to Ahmedabad for the first time to host the fourth edition of the awards in the West.
Gunjan Sabikhi, Convener, India Travel Awards, informs that Ahmedabad has emerged as an important market for tourism in the last few years. “It is very heartening to see the increased interest from industry players in this market beyond the usual metros and thus, we chose to host the awards in Ahmedabad,” says Sabikhi.
She asserts that India Travel Awards sets a company apart from its competitors and also pushes the awardees to the forefront. “It is very encouraging to see that every year, the number of nominations received for West India Travel Awards increases manifold, which proves that winning this award is very prestigious and it bestows immense credibility to the winning company or individual,” she says. Sabikhi observes that being nominated or shortlisted for any category has proven to be helpful for the participants as it increases awareness about the brand or individual.
Sanjay Kaushik, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre, informs that their hotel is the only five-star deluxe property in Ahmedabad, offering the largest room size in the city (35 sqm). It offers five meeting rooms that provide a total space of 8200 sqft. “We are very excited to host the prestigious India Travel Awards at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre, happening for the first time in Ahmedabad.
