The ceremony took place at InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort on October 15, with the participation of nearly 200 representatives from world travel agencies, media outlets and hospitality experts.
As the national flag carrier of Vietnam, headquartered in Hanoi, Vietnam Airlines operates 91 routes to 20 domestic and 29 international destinations with an average of 400 flights conducted daily.
The airline operates a young fleet of 89 modern aircrafts, including models such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A350-900 XWB, Airbus A330, Airbus A321 and Boeing 777.
Last year, Vietnam Airlines underwent a dramatic transformation, launching its new corporate identity, improving in-flight services to four-star standards, and beginning a major fleet-wide upgrade – becoming the first Asian airline to operate both next-generation Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and A350-900 XWB aircrafts at the same time.
Vietnam Airlines has been a member of IATA since 2006 and a member of the SkyTeam Alliance since 2010.
Along with Vietnam Airlines, Vietnam’s InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort has also been honoured as Leading Luxury Resort of Asia, Leading Resort of Vietnam, and Leading Spa Resort of Vietnam at the ceremony. This is the third consecutive time that the resort has received the award.
The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward, and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.
