Meet the winners of the Cathay Members’ Choice Awards 2024

With so many wonderful sights, sounds and tastes around the world, it can be hard to know where to start. That’s why we launched the Cathay Members’ Choice Awards – to draw on the expertise of our global community of members and identify the best for your bucket list.   

We convened a panel of 15 industry experts, journalists and editors, and Cathay Diamond members to curate the nominees across six categories. The award winners were then voted for by 25,000 of our members. Finally, here are the 30 winners of this year’s Cathay Members’ Choice Awards.
