Viceroy Hotel Group - winners in the Hotel category |
During the 2011 Luxury Travel Expo in Las Vegas, four travel
professionals were selected as leaders in their respective travel segments and
received the “Leaders in Luxury” awards from show presenters Travel Agent and
Travel Advisor magazines. Ruthanne
Terrero, vice-president and editorial director for Questex Hospitality + Travel
Group commented that each recipient truly embodied excellence in luxury travel
and showed by example how dedication to the industry led to future success.
Awards were presented to the following individuals in four
separate categories:
“Tours” was won by Greg Tepper, president of Exeter
International.
Nicholas Clayton, president of Viceroy Hotel Group won for “Hotels.”
Viceroy distinguishes itself by
designing each hotel uniquely for its market. Last year they added their latest hotel - Viceroy
Maldives to their world-wide collection of properties.
Gary D. Davis, president of All About Travel, Inc. won the “Travel
Professional” award.
The “Cruise” award was taken by Richard Sasso, president and
chief executive officer of MSC Cruises. MSC
is now the fourth largest cruise company. Sasso founded the idea of “a ship
within a ship” concept called the MSC Yacht Club, where passengers can enjoy
exclusive access and privileges, yet still have access to the remainder of the
ship’s activities when desired. Yacht Club members enjoy butler service, luxury
suites, complimentary wine and spirits and private dining, lounge, pool and
bar.
Editors of Travel Agent
and Travel Advisor magazines selected the winners from a field of 16 finalists
and presented the awards during a special ceremony at Mandalay Bay Hotel and
Casino.
