- Katie Skrzek

As Global Traveler celebrates the 13th annual GT Tested Reader Survey awards, we recognize those winners celebrating momentous repeat wins. The Hall of Fame reflects winners collecting the GT Tested Reader Survey award in the same category for the 10th consecutive year. New to the Global Traveler award landscape this voting season, Quint Status reflects those winners with a five-year consecutive win in their particular category.

As voted by our distinguished readers, the annual GT Tested Reader Survey awards celebrate the best of the best in the world of travel, honoring the readers’ favorite airlines, credit cards, destinations, hotels and travel goods and services. GT’s readers are seasoned travelers, flying in first and business class on domestic and international carriers and staying in 4- and 5-star properties around the world.

This year, two companies were inducted into the Hall of Fame and six companies reached Quint Status. The elite group is consistently recognized by our readers for providing the highest standards of service, a dedicated commitment to achieving excellence in their respective fields and looking ahead to new innovations.

EL AL Israel Airlines and Dubai Duty Free join the Hall of Fame for 2016. “The Hall of Fame awards are a significant honor, showing unusual loyalty to a brand for 10 consecutive years,” said Francis X. Gallagher, publisher and CEO, Global Traveler. “Only a rare few have ever been entered into the Hall of Fame.”
