Kenya’s Diani Beach welcomes travel leaders for World Travel Awards Africa Ceremony
Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort, the flagship luxury resort in Kenya’s pristine Diani Beach, is making final preparations as it steps up to host the World Travel Awards Africa Gala Ceremony 2024.

The gala evening will mark the fifth and final regional leg of WTA’s 2024 Grand Tour, a global search for the best travel and tourism organisations. Categories cover the entire spectrum of the industry, ranging from hotels and resorts to airlines and tour operators.
Nestled in botanical gardens amidst Diani Beach, Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort is a sanctuary of unparalleled hospitality and lifestyle in an idyllic Indian Ocean setting.

“Our gala ceremony promises to be a celebration of Africa’s tourism resurgence. The continent is emerging as one of the fastest-growing travel regions globally, driven by its natural wonders, wildlife safaris and rich cultural. As more travellers seek eco-conscious and community-driven experiences, African destinations have risen to the challenge by offering authentic and responsible tourism options. The event will amplify these efforts, bringing attention to Africa’s capacity to provide world-class travel while maintaining cultural integrity and environmental stewardship.”
