Travel + Leisure Co has been recognised for its strong performance in marketing at the annual HM Magazine Hotel Management awards.
Gold Coast-based senior manager, PR and communications, Chris Logan, won marketing and communications associate, while the Culinary Journeys with Peter Kuruvita campaign won in the marketing campaign category.
The Culinary Journeys campaign encouraged club members to try local cuisine or use kitchens in their apartment-style accommodation to make memories with their families, inspired by freshly created culinary maps and blogs and onsite cooking demonstrations with celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita.
The vacation ownership and travel membership company also won awards in the Midscale Hotel and Service to the Community categories.
“We are thrilled with the welcome industry recognition from our hospitality peers at the HM Awards. This awards program continues to grow in prominence year after year and to achieve these acknowledgements in a range of disciplines indicates the excellent work our teams are doing across the business,” said Barry Robinson, president and managing director, international operations, of Travel + Leisure Co.
Elsewhere, the Asia Pacific philanthropic arm of Travel + Leisure Co., Wishes by Wyndham, has raised more than $700,000 for worthy charities since its inception and was recognised for the second consecutive year. In 2024, the volunteer committee has so far raised approximately $50,000 for Dolly’s Dream and Humpty Dumpty Foundation through raffles and events, including a nationwide egg and spoon race.
Travel + Leisure Co. oversees 90 properties in Asia Pacific and beyond and develops three shared ownership clubs under the Club Wyndham and Accor Vacation Club brands.
With more than 1,800 nominations and 50 categories in 2024, the HM Awards are considered the most prestigious hospitality awards in the South Pacific region.
