The Virtus Awards Philippines is geared up to become the biggest and most prestigious sales and marketing competition in the travel and tourism industry. Organized by the Hotel Sales & Marketing Association (HSMA), Virtus Awards is a pioneering multi-category initiative that is envisaged to transform the mindset of sales and marketing professionals in the hotels and resorts industry, and set the tone for excellence.
Set against this dynamic landscape of change, the Virtus Awards shines on the creative strategies, passionate dedication, and expertise of sales and marketing professionals to fuel the growth of their hotel properties and raise the bar for the hospitality industry as a whole.
The Virtus Awards will honor excellence in three individual sales and marketing categories – Associate, Manager, Leader – covering positions in room sales, events management, catering, reservation, public relations, communication and revenue management. The multi-category initiative also recognizes a Marketing Campaign of the Year, built around a single, unified theme.
Judging of entries is set on 15 October. Winners will be announced during a black-tie gala dinner on 25 November at the New World Manila Bay Hotel, which is expected to attract nearly 300 key influencers in the tourism and travel industry.
