Bahrain wins two awards at World Travel Awards ceremony

Dubai, Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) announced Bahrain’s accomplishment by winning two awards at the 31st World Travel Awards (WTA) ceremony.

Bahrain won the “Middle East’s Leading Wedding Destination 2024” award in recognition of its emerging position as a preferred regional destination for large-scale weddings and lavish bridal occasions during the last few years.

This accomplishment highlights Bahrain’s tourist landmarks and readiness to host spectacular grand celebrations, solidifying its status as the ideal location for large-scale weddings and festive occasions.

Exhibition World Bahrain (EWB) has won the “Middle East’s Leading Large-Scale Wedding Venue 2024” award. This tribute underscores EWB’s achievement in securing the highest number of votes among prestigious venues.

We are immensely proud that families and couples worldwide are choosing Bahrain for their most awaited ceremonies, drawn by its rich heritage, first-rate hotels, luxury hospitality, pristine beaches, and more,” she added.
