Due to the
ongoing pandemic and a new wave of infections across the region, forcing
thousands of hotels and hospitality facilities to cease operations the South
Asian Travel Awards decided to extend the nomination period for another 40 days.
Being in the
worst effected region, SATA prays all infected for a quick recovery and request
all to comply with the regulations of Health authorities to overcome the
situation. We wish for the millions of Hospitality service workers a quick
return to the service.
SATA opened
