Tiqets has announced the first round of nominees for its Remarkable Venue Awards, which celebrates the best museums and attractions in the UAE and eight other countries. 

 

More than 200 nominees are competing to become one of the seven winners in each of the 9 countries represented in the Remarkable Venue Awards. 

 

Today, the nominees for the first 5 awards (Most Remarkable Venue, Best Museum, Best Attraction, Best Landmark and Best Onsite Experience) were announced. 

 

UAE nominees include the Burj Khalifa, Museum of the Future, Qasr Al Watan, Global Village, and La Perle by Dragone.

 

The selection of the venues in these 5 categories is based on 1.1 million+ customer reviews of venues on Tiqets.com.

 

For the first time in the history of Tiqets’ annual tourism awards series, venues in the UAE, Germany, and Portugal will join the race to take home a Remarkable Venue Award. As in previous years, museums and attractions in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, and the US are also eligible for an award.

 

Later this month, the second round of nominees for the two application-based awards, Best Hidden Gem and Most Innovative Venue, will be announced. 

 

These two award categories will be assessed by a panel of industry judges including Arival CEO Douglas Quinby, Viajes National Geographic Web Director Javier Zori, MuseumNext Founder Jim Richardson, and Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions Destination Development Manager Anouk van Eekelen. 

 

Applications for these awards will be open until September 8, 2022. The winners in all seven categories for all nine participating countries will be announced on September 28.

 

“The nominees for this year's Remarkable Venue Awards represent the best that the museum and attraction industry has to offer – they’ve received rave reviews from more than a million Tiqets customers worldwide. We're proud to be working with these fantastic venues and we’re excited to celebrate all of them through the 2022 Remarkable Venue Awards,” says Tiqets CEO Laurens Leurink. - TradeArabia News Service
