GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

It is a great honour to have the 2017 World Travel Awards Asia & Australasia Gala Ceremony in Shanghai.

On behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administration, I would like to extend my sincere welcome to those who travelled from afar.

With the continuous strengthening of Shanghai’s internationalization, the continuous improvement of infrastructure construction and service levels, and more activities to choose from, the city is going from strength to strength.

World Travel Awards plays a crucial role in the global travel and tourism industry. We are delighted that the World Travel Awards has chosen Shanghai as the venue for this prestigious event.

Shanghai’s Huangpu River and the cross-strait Bund and Lujiazui financial area are a world-class attraction. In 2016 Shanghai Disney Resort officially opened its doors.

The future will bring more international brand hotels and projects to Shanghai, and constantly enrich the tourism resources. We hope to welcome additional international events such as World Travel Awards in the future.

Shanghai is China’s economic, financial and trade centre, and also famous as a tourism city. We received 8.54 million inbound tourists over the past year, a new record.

Shanghai will continue to build a world-renowned tourist city with global influence. In this process, we will work with more tourism industry partners to learn from each other, deepen exchanges and promote the common prosperity and development of the tourism industry.

Finally, once again congratulations to the winners of the 2017 World Travel Awards Asia & Australasia Gala Ceremony. I wish all attendees a wonderful stay in Shanghai. Thank you!

Patrick Chen Deputy Director Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administration

Deer Jet has revealed it will offer the Dream Jet – a luxurious Boeing Dreamliner outfitted to the highest specifications – to the international charter market. It is thought to be among the largest and most sophisticated aircraft available for private hire worldwide.

Frank Fang, vice president of Deer Jet, said: “The Dream Jet showcases the signature service of Deer Jet, which is inspired by the values of performance, elegance, and distinction. With the 787 Dream Jet, we are proud to serve discerning business and leisure travellers worldwide.”

Deer Jet – considered the World's Leading Private Jet Charter by the World Travel Awards - is currently in the process of rolling out a series of bespoke travel packages.

TO U R I S M M A L AYS I A Looking ahead, the Malaysian ministry of tourism and ITB Berlin have announced that the south-east Asian nation will be the show’s official partner country in 2019.

Announcing the reasoning behind the country’s choice of year, YB Dato’ Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Abdul Aziz, minister of tourism and culture for Malaysia explained: “Our target is to achieve 36 million tourist arrivals and RM168 billion in receipts

by the year 2020, based on the Malaysia Tourism Transformation Plan. Building up to this year will be very much like a ‘crescendo’, which is why we wanted to plan a major partnership with ITB Berlin in 2019.”

Tourism Malaysia was last year recognised as Asia's Leading Tourist Board by voters at the World Travel Awards.

The 2019 official partner country project is part of a much broader plan by Malaysia to increase awareness of the natural and human assets of the country over the next years. Kinabalu National Park and Gunung Mulu National Park in Malaysian Borneo and George Town cities and the archaeological heritage of the Lenggong Valley are four of the UNESCO designated World Heritage sites in Malaysia that will be highlighted. By the same token, the incredible variety of cultures and peoples that one encounters while travelling from one part of Malaysia to another are a key to the attractiveness of the destination.

Nazri bin Abdul Aziz added: “ITB Berlin is truly a global platform from which we can give our message to the world like no other.”

CHANGI AIRPORT In Singapore, Changi Airport Group has welcomed the announcement by lowcost airline Norwegian of its intention to launch non-stop services between Singapore and London Gatwick in September.

The carrier we launch the four times with a 344-seat Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft in a two-class configuration offering economy and premium cabins.

With the launch of this new service, the number of weekly flights from Singapore to London will increase to 50.

Changi Airport chief executive Lee Seow Hiang said: “We are delighted to welcome Norwegian to Changi’s portfolio of airlines in September; it will enhance options for Changi Airport's passengers as well as attract more UK visitors to Singapore. With changing consumer preferences and an improvement in aircraft technology, low-cost carriers have taken the opportunity to expand into the longhaul market.

“We will continue to work with our airline partners to exploit other such opportunities to grow their operations at Changi.”

Changi Airport is considered the World’s Leading Airport by World Travel Awards.

BREAKING TRAVEL NEWS SPOTLIGHT ON:

AUSTRALASIA With a booming cruise market and a host of top-level tourism events headed for the region, Australasian tourism is booming. Here we bring you the latest headlines.

The Australian cruise market grew by 21 per cent in 2016, with 1,281,159 Australians taking a cruise last year. The growth of 222,378 passengers is the biggest increase on record, according to the Cruise Lines International Association.

CLIA Australasia managing director, Joel Katz said: “In 2016, Australia achieved the equivalent of 5.3 per cent market penetration, that’s one in 19 Australians taking a cruise, making this the highest per capita ratio in the world. The growing capacity and the wide variety of cruising

The most popular cruises are local itineraries in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, accounting for 76.7 per cent of Australian cruise passengers, growing by 30 per cent year on year.

“With many of these local cruises calling at the 34 regional ports and anchorag-

es around the Australian coastline, local communities benefit from the injection of valuable tourist dollars into the local economies,” added Katz.

ROUTE ASIA The annual Routes Asia air service development forum has officially been handed over to the Australian city of Brisbane.

Routes Asia brings together airlines, airports, tourism authorities and governments to plan new flights and increase existing services.

The 2018 event will be hosted by Brisbane Airport Corporation, Brisbane Marketing, Tourism Australia and Tourism Events Queensland at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The capital of Queensland, Brisbane saw a record high of nearly 1.2 million international visitors in the year ending September 2016, 9.6 per cent more than the previous 12 months. There was particularly strong growth from China, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong.

Brisbane Airport handled more than 22 million passengers in 2015 and its capacity will double when a second runway opens in 2020.

Brisbane is the gateway to Queensland the Sunshine State - which is famous for attractions such as the Gold Coast and Great Barrier Reef. Queensland is also experiencing a boom in the number of international travellers, especially from China.

Julieanne Alroe, Brisbane Airport Corporation managing director said: “The city is ready and waiting to offer the warmest of Queensland welcomes to delegates attending Routes Asia in Brisbane in 2018. March is the perfect time to visit Brisbane.”

R OYA L C A R I B B E A N Finally, Royal Caribbean - recognised as Australasia's Leading Cruise Line by the

World Travel Awards - has unveiled future plans for the first Quantum Ultra-class ship to be based in the Asia-Pacific region.

Set to be launched in spring 2019, the yet-to-be-named ship will be the next evolution of the ground-breaking Quantum class and will join her sister ships, Quantum of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas. The announcement was made as Royal Caribbean unveiled its full roster of 2018-19 China, Singapore and Australia itineraries.

Almost a decade on from Royal Caribbean’s first cruise in China, the cruise line further bolsters its commitment to the market by dedicating a line-up of its most technologically advanced ships to the rapidly growing market. The new ship will specifically be designed for guests in the region, featuring even more cutting-edge and unprecedented experiences and amenities.

FANTASTIC SAINT PETERSBURG WELCOMES YOU! Due to dynamic actions of the Government of Saint Petersburg focused on development of tourist industry, objects of city’s tourist infrastructure received a number of awards justifying its high international status and quality of services rendered.

Opinions of tourists happen to be the most important assessment of the work done. We will keep on doing our best to ensure that travelling to Saint Petersburg provides true pleasure to guests in future and contributes to forming a bright and appealing image of the city where one wants to come back to over and over again.

A.Mushkarev, Chairman, St. Petersburg Committee for tourism development

www.visit-petersburg.ru www.saintpetersburgcb.com

To stroll around royal park-and-palace ensembles St. Petersburg like an Empress wears a rich necklace — a necklace of royal summer residences located in the suburbs of the city.

Peterhof impresses by its numerous fountains, cascades and park pavilions .

The Catherine palace in Tsarskoe Selo is best known for the Golden Enfilade of state rooms that includes the world-famous Amber Room.

Pavlovsk is a cozy royal palace with unique chinaware, and amazing landscape park.

To touch the Russian Imperial history Saint Petersburg is the city of the white nights, draw bridges, royal palaces, museums and theatres, the cultural capital of Russia. It is the second largest city in Russia and the third one in Europe (after Moscow and London).

At 313, Saint Petersburg is quite young, yet the city has an impressive history. For a long time St. Petersburg remained the capital of the Russian Empire, and it was St. Petersburg that laid the foundation of socialist regime in the country

To get warm in winter The best opera and ballet performances, theatre and music festivals are performed at the season when the rivers and canals stand still, covered with the white armour of ice. Incredible Pancake week is a tasty period — to eat Russian dishes and to feel the spirit of Russia.

To crown it all the museums in winter are not overcrowded and the prices in the hotels decrease. Winter is time for magnificent balls that allow their guests to feel themselves like an Emperor

Saint Petersburg: A place to meet Saint Petersburg provides excellent modern congress and exhibition facilities, enabling it to hold world-class events.

The incentive and event industry in Saint Petersburg offers endless capabilities for business events, team building, corporate leisure and even exciting adventures.

The city possesses a wide range of exhibition spaces, conference halls and venues, comfortable hotels, and cosy restaurants with excellent cuisine.

Saint Petersburg restaurant festival-2017 From 01 to 30 November in Saint Petersburg the «Saint Petersburg restaurant festival-2017» will be held.

Since its foundation St. Petersburg has become not only the capital city but also a kind of trendsetter in architecture, culture, history, and the art of cooking.

Due to the fact that in the period of construction St. Petersburg the most famous and most talented European artists of the time were invited. With them our city began the tradition of cooking dishes from different European countries.

Chefs from France, Italy and Germany creatively reworked old recipes of Russian cuisine, so many Russian dishes and recipes have found an European tradition.

Later the influence of Petersburg’s cuisine began spreading across the territory of Russia, contributing to the diversity of traditional recipes from various regions of the country.

Nowadays we can confidently talk about the special Petersburg style of Russian cuisine imbued with the spirit of history, traditions, culinary experiments and innovations.

The program of the «Saint Petersburg restaurant festival-2017» includes themed dinners in restaurants, parties, workshops and master classes, shows in cooking the meals of Petersburg cuisine’s, activities for children and a special children’s menu, as well as exhibitions, competitions and much more.

The full program of the «Saint Petersburg restaurant festival-2017» you can see on St. Petersburg Official City Guide www.visit-petersburg.ru

Festival of Lights Festival of Lights is becoming one of the most exciting gala events in Saint Petersburg in spring and autumn.

The festival brings together artists, painters and musicians and thousands of visitors who enjoy all patterns of light on different historical monuments.

The festival will bring to life miraculous breathtaking art by newest 3D-mapping and audiovisual technologies.

To feel the city’s soul Modern St. Petersburg, crisscrossed by numerous rivers and canals, stands on more than 100 islands, which are linked to one another by more than 400 bridges. This is why the city is often called “the Venice of the North”.

Nearly every building in the downtown is considered to be a historic monument, hence the city’s definition — “open-air museum”. Its historical centre, palace and park ensembles are inscribed in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

Churches and cathedrals Saint Petersburg was planned as a Westoriented city and has always been renowned for its hospitality. Peter the Great encouraged foreigners, especially from Europe, to come to the new capital: they brought a new way of life, knowledge and traditions. To make foreigners feel comfortable in the city Peter the Great and his successors paid much attention to the construction of churches and cathedrals for people of various religions.

Though Saint Petersburg is known as a city of different creeds, it is the Orthodoxy that has long been the official religion of Russia.

That is why special emphasis was laid on orthodox churches. The world’s best architects built churches and cathedrals in Saint Petersburg. Sublimity of St.Isaac’s Cathedrals, proportion of the Nikolsky (St.Nicholas’) Cathedral, smartness of the Church of Resurrection of Christ (Spas-na-Krovi) always attract visitors of the city. The beauty and splendor of their inner decorations make indelible impressions upon guests’ minds.

To immerse yourself in St. Petersburg romantics During the “white nights” the Petersburgers flock to the banks of the Neva to see the sun set. The “white nights” period lasts from May to July. Countless festivals and concerts are held in the parks and on the city’s squares and embankments: Scarlet Sails school leavers festival, River Carnival, Festival of Ice Crackers, Festivals of garden art. During such days the city marks its anniversary – on May 27th. Every day from May to October sometime after two o’clock in the morning the multi-tonne wings of the bridges swing gently upwards to let vessels on the river pass.

FIFA Confederations Cup 2017/FIFA World Cup 2018 St. Petersburg city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourism is one of the key sectors of the city’s economy. St. Petersburg welcomes up to seven million tourists each year, more than any other city in Russia.

In the same artistic tradition, a new state-of-theart 70,000-seat stadium is being constructed on Krestovsky Island facing the Baltic Sea. Resembling a spaceship, it was designed by the famous architect Kisho Kurokawa. The stadium will have a retractable pitch, ensuring that the quality of the turf remains high regardless of the weather. The Saint Petersburg Stadium in Saint Petersburg will host the final of FIFA Confederations Cup on 2 July 2017 and the semi-final of FIFA World Cup on 10 July 2018.

To travel without visa The travelers arriving to St. Petersburg by sea (ferry or cruise ship) can get 72 hours visa-free entry and stay in the city if they have the tour program (voucher). The passengers can acquire the voucher on the board of a ship.

There are just 4 steps to visa-free entry: 1. Purchase an airline ticket to Helsinki There are more than 10 airlines that provide direct flights from European cities to Helsinki
