Hospitality Sectors Represented
How Jordan participation divides across hospitality sectors. Sectors are assigned from two fields in the official award records only — the award programme a record was filed under and the industry classification recorded against it. Restaurant, Spa & Beauty and 5 Star Hotel programme records take their programme's sector; World GM Awards records are 'Hospitality Leadership' when the manager's organisation carries a hospitality industry classification; International Travel Awards records are limited on this site to hotel and resort entrants. Nothing is inferred from an organisation's name.

A record is listed as a winner only when an official winning category is recorded against it for a specific award year; payment, attendance or a nomination plan plays no part. Sectors are assigned from two fields in the official award records only — the award programme a record was filed under and the industry classification recorded against it. Restaurant, Spa & Beauty and 5 Star Hotel programme records take their programme's sector; World GM Awards records are 'Hospitality Leadership' when the manager's organisation carries a hospitality industry classification; International Travel Awards records are limited on this site to hotel and resort entrants. Nothing is inferred from an organisation's name. City and destination fields are not populated for these records in the official award records, so no city breakdown is shown. 1 identical duplicate submissions (same organisation, programme, year and category) are shown once in the listings; the record totals above count every official record.Winner descriptions are shown only when verified against the winner's own website; nothing is written to fill gaps. No e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, plans, fees or payment details are published.
