Sandals Resorts International Executive Chairman Adam
Stewart was named the 2023 Executive of the Year at this year’s Travvy Awards.
Stewart was honored during the ninth annual Travvy Awards,
which took place on November 2 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Broward County
Convention Center and was hosted by Northstar Travel Group’s TravelPulse.com
and AGENTatHOME.
While unable to attend in person, Stewart posted a video to
social media in response to receiving the prestigious honor.
“It is with incredible honor to receive the prestigious
Travvy Award for Executive of the Year,” Stewart said. “This award stands as a
testament to the tireless work of our entire team at Sandals Resorts and
Beaches Resorts and the progressive innovations we've embraced, resulting in a
total of six accolades.”
“We are a company profoundly committed to sharing our
beautiful part of the planet with guests from around the world,” Stewart
continued. “Tourism fuels the economies of the Caribbean, and travel advisors
are critical to the region’s success.”
As Executive Chairman for Sandals Resorts International, Stewart
helped transform the brand into an international powerhouse and grew its
presence in the travel industry to epic proportions.
Before taking over his current role, Stewart spent over a
decade as Deputy Chairman and CEO, leading the brand’s transition to its now
Luxury Included signature and overseeing a period of significant expansion.
Stewart was honored as over 300 Travvy statuettes were
handed out in over 140 categories. Thousands of votes were cast by readers of
AGENTatHOME and TravelPulse.com, with winners being showcased in AGENTatHOME
Magazine, profiled on TravelPulse.com and honored at the lavish awards gala.
