A dynamic fusion of East and West, Hong Kong is one of the world’s most exciting destinations
The World Travel Awards, in partnership with Hong Kong International Airport, will bring together Asia and Oceania’s top travel leaders for a landmark celebration at InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong
The World Travel Awards (WTA) Asia & Oceania Gala Ceremony 2025 will take centre stage in Hong Kong on 13 October, uniting leading figures from across the region’s travel and tourism industry.
Hosted in partnership with Hong Kong International Airport, the prestigious event will be held at the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, overlooking the city’s iconic Victoria Harbour. The gala marks the fourth stop on WTA’s Grand Tour 2025, following Tanzania, Cancun, and Saint Lucia, before continuing to Sardinia and culminating in the Grand Final in Bahrain.
A dazzling fusion of East and West, Hong Kong remains one of the world’s most inspiring destinations — renowned for its skyline, world-class dining, and cultural depth. The city’s blend of tradition and modernity makes it a fitting stage for this celebration of tourism excellence.
