HOSPITALITY ASIA PLATINUM AWARDS (HAPA) recognizes and rewards the crème de la crème of the hospitality industry at all levels. Focusing on the people who strive ceaselessly to give guests a hospitality experience bar none, this signature soiree has become a much-anticipated event for hoteliers as well as businesses who work with the hospitality industry. Dedicated to recognizing and rewarding people and establishments who have shown drive, dedication and passion for the hospitality industry, HAPA award categories are as diverse as the industry it serves, with Personality awards dedicated to service excellence and leadership, to categories ranging from the best experiences to be had in travel, golf, spa, food and entertainment. The Oscars of Hospitality is held annually, with Malaysia and Singapore taking it in turn to host the event.
The strong interest that other ASEAN countries have shown for HAPA has also resulted in the expansion of the awards with the advent of the regional HAPA, which will now see service operators vying for top place from amongst players in the region, as opposed to only country-specific competition. The regional HAPA will ensure only the best contenders from each country will be striving against the cream of the crop from the region for the ultimate recognition, thus raising the bar for both the industry as well as individual operators.
The newly launched www.HapaAwards.com was designed so busy executives would have a quick resource for all things HAPA related. The website features downloadable nomination forms, as well as updated lists of nominees and new information on the awards as and when it becomes available. HapaAwards.com will also feature pictures from the Gala night, as well as individual winners’ images.

HOSPITALITY ASIA GOLF CHALLENGE (HAGC), no other game says business as well as golf. This first-of-its-kind event was pioneered by Hospitality Asia with the purpose of bringing the big guns in the hospitality industry out of the boardroom and onto the greens where networking and the improvement of a handicap goes hand in hand with focused discussions on ways to strive for greater cohesion and excellence in the industry. This ‘By Invitation’ golf challenge sees Owners, Presidents, CEOs, Directors and General Managers within the hospitality and tourism industries coming together in a fine balance of competition and communication.
HOSPITALITY ASIA GENERAL MANAGERS’ APPRECIATION NIGHT is World Asia Publishing’s way of saying ‘thank you’ to the leaders of the hospitality industry for their support, cooperation and friendship throughout the 14 years of Hospitality Asia – one of the publishing company’s key titles. The event was also Hospitality Asia’s way to bringing together top executives from different properties in a casual, non-working environment in order to foster rapport and to build networking ties. |
