Awards that truly matter
In a world rich with recognitions and accolades it is crucial to identify the awards that truly matter, the ones that hold genuine significance within an industry. The Onboard Hospitality Awards are that beacon of excellence.
The accolades stand as a symbol of relentless innovation, dedication and the constant pursuit of improving the onboard experience.
“When we first launched the Onboard Hospitality Awards in 2014, we knew their success was reliant on transparency and integrity,” says Sue Williams, Publisher of Onboard Hospitality magazine. “The Awards also needed to highlight the creativity of our industry.
“The only way to ensure this was to invite our readership to vote who should win and to have that voting endorsed by a panel of highly respected international judges. Our judges would also be able to put forward any outstanding products they felt had not been selected.”
Our commitment to excellence extends not only to the awards themselves but also to the meticulous judging process which ensures the highest level of integrity and fairness. Each entry undergoes rigorous evaluation by a panel of independent experts who are selected because of their knowledge and good standing within the industry.
Our independent judging process is a key factor in ensuring that receiving one of the Onboard Hospitality Awards is a benchmark both of quality and innovation.
