Sheldon Santwan, Editor and COO, Hospitality Biz, said,
“The Indian hospitality and tourism industry is slated to be one of the key economic drivers and employment creators within the country. And the time has come to recognise its contribution in overall Indian business scenario. Hospitality Biz is very proud to be part of this path-breaking initiative with world renowned partners like Cushman & Wakefield. And I am sure, this award will go a long way in recognising excellence and furthering the standards within this industry. In our own small way, we feel that, this endeavour will be our humble contribution towards the progress of the industry.”
Akshay Kulkarni, Regional Director – Hospitality, South & Southeast Asia, Cushman & Wakefield, affirmed, “Cushman & Wakefield and Hospitality Biz have completed very significant milestone this year. While C&W India completes 15 years and C&W Hospitality team completes five years. With significant experience in the industry, both C&W and Hospitality Biz have amassed valuable market knowledge and understanding to be considered at the top of their respective businesses in the domain of hospitality. C&W Hospitality has associated with many players in the business and has created a strong knowledge base, which is driven by principles of transparency, absolute honesty and commitment to client and have constantly strived to achieve.”
He further stated, “With significant time spent in the realm of hospitality by both the parties, we realised that there were fewer industry level recognition for the stupendous achievements of the hospitality industry. Thus, we have created a platform that would recognise excellence in all aspects of hospitality. The awards will be spread over multiple categories and recognise properties, companies and individuals for their contribution. We hope to create new benchmarks in recognition through these awards."
