Revealing the lucky winners of our prestigious annual awards

Which airport do our readers love best? Which airlines and hotel do you enjoy flying with and staying in the most? Find out now

The Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards is now in its 28th year and continues to celebrate the best in the travel and hospitality industries as voted by our Business Traveller Asia-Pacific subscribers. These 30,000-plus individuals are frequent travellers – taking an average of 19 business trips a year – and as such their views provide valuable industry feedback.

Between April and June, Business Traveller AsiaPacific sent out a poll to subscribers, asking them to vote for their favourite airlines, airports and hotels. The results were independently compiled by market research leader Business Intelligence.

The winners were announced at an exclusive presentation luncheon at the Island Shangri-La Hotel on September 12.
