Visa for the 10th consecutive year named the “World’s Leading Credit Card.” The World Travel Awards, the prestigious awards ceremony acknowledged Visa for its significant achievements in all areas of the travel and tourism industry.
The criteria used for evaluating companies and organizations included scope of distribution, convenience and overall best services. On these criteria online polling of travel agencies and front-line travel agent is conducted and the best chosen company is awarded the prize.
“Visa is delighted to receive this most prestigious award,” said Doug Hambry, senior vice president of U.S. sales, Visa Inc. “Visa has been a partner to the travel industry and continues to aid in its growth, providing merchants access to millions of Visa cardholders and providing cardholders with unsurpassed acceptance worldwide. Additionally, Visa cardholders receive added value that goes beyond the convenience and confidence that Visa provides, through travel and entertainment programs linked to Visa payment cards. We are honored once more to receive this accolade from one of the industry’s most important awards programs.”
Throughout the year at www.worldtravelawards.com online voting took place. More than 167,000 travel agents and professionals in over 160 countries worldwide casted their votes to let the world know who they think are the best in the travel industry. The winner was selected from the following payment cards – American Express, Diner's Club, JCB, MasterCard and Visa.
"For the past ten years Visa has won 'World's Leading Credit Card,' yet the competition and the marketplace have gotten bigger and tougher over this time," said Graham Cooke, president and founder of the World Travel Awards. "To consistently win year after year shows that Visa is able to stay ahead of the competition and consistently deliver a product that exceeds the expectations both of customers and those in the global travel trade."
