Kanoo Travel, a fully owned business division of Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo Group (YBA Kanoo), has been named Saudi Arabia’s Leading Business Travel Agency in 2020 by the 27th World Travel Awards.

Kanoo Travel management was informed about the decision earlier this year and received the award in February 2021.

“For almost a decade our strategy has been focused on corporate clients which allowed us to develop the capabilities and know-how to serve them in the best way possible,” Nabeel Kanoo, President of Kanoo Travel said.

“We’ve been operating in Saudi Arabia since the 1950’s and we have successfully managed to build strong and stable relationships with many clients in all cities which makes this award a true reflection of our efforts and hard work especially during the challenging times of a global pandemic.”

Each year, (WTA) covers the globe with a series of regional gala ceremonies staged to celebrate successful businesses in the industry. In 2020 and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the gala ceremony was replaced with an online event.
