This year’s programme is bigger and better than ever, with several new categories added and the event’s hotly anticipated awards ceremony taking place live for the first time since 2019.

Now in its 20th year, the awards programme will culminate with a gala event on May 9, 2022, at a five-star hotel in Dubai, with more than 200 guests set to attend.

The 41 awards categories span 10 airline awards, four airport awards, 19 hotel awards and new for 2021, eight leisure and lifestyle awards.

Reflecting business travel trends and traveller priorities, categories contested at the 2022 awards range from Best Airline in the World, Best Hotel Brand in the World and Best Serviced Apartment Brand in the Middle East to Best Dining Experiences in the UAE, Best Mobile Travel Application and Best Golf Club in the Middle East.

The best business hotel category has been applied to every major Middle East destination, recognising the high quality of accommodation and services to business travellers provided in each, with locations covered including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Egypt, Israel, Jeddah, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Riyadh and Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.

The Business Traveller Middle East Awards 2022 celebrate the companies at the forefront of business travel and services, as well as the hard work of top-level industry executives.
