Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport Wins World Travel Award 2026

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka: Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport has received a World Travel Award at the 2026 regional ceremony, bringing international recognition to the hotel and Bangladesh's hospitality sector.

The award was presented at the World Travel Awards Asia, Oceania and Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony in the Maldives on September 27. The event brought together companies and organizations from the travel, tourism and hospitality industries across the regions.

Established in 1993, the World Travel Awards recognizes businesses and destinations across the global tourism and hospitality sectors. Regional winners advance through the organization's annual awards program toward the Grand Final.

Ashwani Nayar, cluster general manager of InterContinental Dhaka and Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport, said the recognition was significant not only for the property but also for Bangladesh's representation in the international hospitality industry.

He said the award provides an opportunity to draw greater attention to Bangladesh's tourism potential and the standards being developed within its hospitality sector.

Located near Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, the hotel caters to both business and leisure travelers, while also serving passengers and visitors using Dhaka's main international aviation gateway.

The property is part of IHG Hotels and Resorts and provides accommodation, dining, meetings and event facilities.

The recognition comes as Bangladesh seeks to expand its international tourism profile and develop hospitality services around Dhaka's airport corridor.

The hotel said the award would further support its focus on international hospitality standards and its role in the country's tourism and business travel market.
