Meanwhile Copa Airlines was named “Mexico & Central America’s Leading Airline”.
The WTA awards program, hailed as the ‘Oscars of the travel industry’ by the global media, highlights and rewards those travel brands that have made the greatest contribution to the industry over the past year.
Graham E. Cooke, President & Founder, WTA, underlined the depth and quality of the travel and tourism sector across North America. He says: “Our winners are also drawn from across Central and South America, reflecting the strength and energy of the region’s travel and tourism sector.
