LISBOA Nominated for 4 'Tourism Oscars'

Lisbon has once again been nominated for the prestigious World Travel Awards 2010 in four categories: Europe’s Leading Destination, Europe’s Leading City Break Destination, Europe’s Leading Cruise Destination and Europe’s Leading Cruise Port.
Considered by “The Wall Street Journal” as the “Tourism Oscars," the World Travel Awards (WTA) distinguishes the world’s leading tourist destinations for their service excellence.
Last year, Lisbon triumphed at the European awards by winning the categories of Europe’s Leading Destination, Leading City Break Destination and Leading Cruise Destination.
These prizes were awarded at the 16th WTA edition held at Hotel Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort, which also won Europe’s Leading Golf & Leisure Resort and is a member of Turismo de Lisboa.
The World Travel Awards were created in 1993 and winners are elected through online voting – open to 183,000 travel agency and hospitality professionals throughout 160 countries from all continents.
