The awards ceremony took place at the 20th edition of the Swiss International Holiday Exhibition, held in Lugano, Switzerland.
The Swiss Tourism Awards' main objective is to showcase excellence in different segments of the Tourism industry and discover destinations with a strong tourist vocation and which, in addition to traditional tourist facilities, also focus on sustainability and alternative places and activities.
The reason for Lagos being classified as a "Web2rism Certified Destination" and nominated for the Swiss Tourism Awards was "its beaches and coast, environment and commitment to tourism sustainability strategies".
