Hospitality Sectors Represented

How UAE 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.
