Emirates among the winners at Globe Travel Awards

Emirates was one of the biggest winners at Travel Weekly magazine's 2010 Globe Travel Awards ceremony, which was held at the Grosvenor House hotel in London earlier this month.

Travel agents voted the Dubai-based carrier the best provider of flights to Africa, the Middle East and Australasia.

Virgin Atlantic was named the leading airline flying to the US and Canada, while British Airways received the award covering scheduled flights to Europe.

The accolade for the best tourist board went to Dubai, while Manchester Airport was voted the best regional base in the UK.

Members of the trade named Walt Disney World Florida the top theme park and Sandals the best all-inclusive resort.

As well as representing the views of agents, the Globe Travel Awards featured a consumer section that is based on votes cast by readers of the Daily Mail, Metro and other publications.

Winners in this category included Virgin Atlantic, which was named the public's favourite airline.
