Where world-class recognition meets island excellence and responsible travel
The Maldives will host the World Travel Awards Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony on 27 September 2026, marking World Tourism Day with a global spotlight on the destination.

With added forums and networking opportunities planned, the event is expected to enhance international visibility. For global hospitality brands, including the Park Hotel Group, it highlights the Maldives’ growing influence as a hub for luxury and responsible tourism.
