The Hozpitality Excellence Awards 2023 will be presented to recognize top industry organizations which have shown skill, creativity, ingenuity and success in the Middle East &  Africa’s growing hospitality industry.

Since we are a Popular Choice Award and the winners are chosen by the number of votes. As always, the nomination for the Awards are FREE. After shortlisting, the nominees for the first round of voting will be announced and 2 Rounds of voting will be completed online.

The final Gold and Silver Award winners will also be announced at the live Award ceremony at Arabian Ranches Golf Club in Dubai on 6th Dec 2023.

The voting will be in two phases. Hospitality companies and individuals will be asked to register one of their best candidates/companies for each category. This will be done free of charge and each nominee should have details of why they are being nominated. The final list of nomination will be decided by the Judges.

We have over 1.2 million hospitality professionals in our websites from over 186 countries. They will all be asked to vote online for these award nominations. We would also be sending the voting link to all the hotels who could hand them over to their guests/staff for nominations...

The list of candidates will be floated online among all our hospitality members and social media for online voting and the first shortlist will be chosen. The judges will be prominent hospitality professionals, who will be asked to pay particular attention to the standards of the products and people they are evaluating and cast their votes. The final result will be based on results of the online voting and Judges votes.  The winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony at Arabian Ranches Golf Club on 6th Dec 2023. “
