More than 300 leading tourism figures turned up at the black tie affair at the Hotel Inter-Continental Singapore to salute whom TravelAsia’s editorial director Yeoh Siew Hoon called "the crisis busters in our industry". "This year’s awards is particularly significant because it is about celebrating winners who have dared to make a difference, who have not allowed the bad economic times daunt their spirits to achieve breakthroughs in their individual fields. "Crises bring out the best in us. This awards celebrates the crisis busters in our industry, the individuals who have made a difference despite the tough times. The people who dared to stand out. Because you dare, we care."
