4. CTW Award origin and development
During 2004 to 2006 the award was limited to
only European organizations (named ECTW
Award back then) and companies and the Award
ceremonies were held in Berlin during the ITB
fair.
Since 2007 CTW Award has been opened to all
best practice achievers worldwide and has
moved to the main event for China outbound
tourism, the COTTM China Outbound Travel
and Tourism Market in Beijing.
In 2013 the CTW Award will be organized by
COTRI for the tenth time.
