or all the jet-setting that we atBusiness Traveller

Asia-Pacific do, when it comes to corporate travel it

is you, our readers, who are the true experts. That’s

why earlier this year we sent out a Readers’ Poll to

our subscribers to ask them to vote on the travel

and hospitality service providers they felt deserved

particular recognition for their efforts this year.

The eagerly anticipated results were revealed

at an awards ceremony on September 13 at the Island

Shangri-La, Hong Kong hotel, attended by special guest,

Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Ruby

Yang, and including a stellar juggling performance from

America’s Got Talentsemi-finalist, Ivan Pecel.

Now, we’re taking a look at this year’s big winners to see

what makes them stand out.
