ITL Global has once again been awarded the title of “Leading Travel Management Company in Kuwait” at the World Travel Awards 2026, marking its fifth consecutive year of victory and reinforcing its position as one of the most established and trusted travel management companies in the region.
This achievement comes at a time when the travel industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by continuously evolving traveler expectations, technological advancements, and an increasingly complex global business environment. For ITL Global, winning the title for the fifth consecutive year is more than just an award; it is a recognition of the company’s ability to keep pace with change and continuous development while maintaining its steadfast focus on the needs of the individuals and businesses it serves.
The World Travel Awards are among the most prominent and highly regarded award ceremonies in the travel sector, celebrating organizations and professionals who demonstrate leadership and excellence across various fields of travel and tourism. The 2026 ceremony, held in the UAE, was attended by a distinguished gathering of leading figures from the global and regional travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.
For ITL Global, this recognition in Kuwait holds particular significance, as it crowns five consecutive years of acclaim in the travel sector. In this market, the company has successfully built enduring relationships and developed a deep understanding of the evolving needs of both individual and corporate travelers over the years.
On this occasion, Dr. Saadik Ahmed, Chairman and Managing Director of ITL Global, stated: “Winning for the fifth consecutive year is an exceptional milestone we are proud of, and one we do not take for granted. An award may honor an achievement realized at a specific moment, but receiving this recognition for five years in a row reflects consistency, trust, and the ability to continue evolving. This achievement is due to our team, our clients, and our partners, all of whom have been essential parts of this journey. We are proud of what we have built to date and are even more determined to continue progressing toward the next phase.”
The company’s growth is grounded in the firm conviction that travel management is no longer merely about organizing trips, but has evolved into an integrated system based on understanding the nature and needs of businesses, anticipating their requirements, enhancing efficiency across all stages of travel, and leveraging technology to make the entire experience more connected and seamless.
Rafiq Mohammed, Chief Executive Officer of ITL Global, said: “The travel sector has undergone significant changes over the years, and we have evolved alongside it. Our goal has never been to rest on our laurels, but to continually ask about the next step, what our clients will need in the future, and how we can deliver better services to them. Winning the World Travel Award for the fifth consecutive year validates this approach. It also provides us with a strong impetus to continue investing in technology, talent, and partnerships, and to develop new methods that add real value to what we offer our clients.”
ITL’s team is at the heart of the company’s sustained success in Kuwait, where its deep local market expertise and precise understanding of client needs have helped build long-term relationships in both business and leisure travel.
Najida Abdullah, ITL’s General Manager in Kuwait, stated: “Retaining the title for the fifth consecutive year is not achieved through a single initiative or a fleeting success in one year, but rather through sustained engagement with customers, countless journeys, and a team that strives daily to deliver its best. We have built strong relationships in Kuwait by listening to our customers, understanding their needs, and continuously seeking ways to enhance our services. This recognition celebrates this collective effort and provides us with greater motivation to continue evolving and elevating the quality of what we offer.”
