The Seal of Excellence

Nomination and voting
The nominees were selected by the Luxury Panel of the Seven Star Global Luxury Awards and were placed online once approved. Voting was completed by both members of the public and the international trade, where over 357,000 votes were received. The event itself hosted some of the industry’s most respected CEOs and managers from international tourism and hospitality as well as royalty and tourism ministers.
