The Aspire Lounge at Perth Airport has been named the best airport lounge in Oceania at the Asia & Oceania Gala Award Ceremony 2022 held in Vietnam and is now in the running to be named world’s best at 29th annual World Travel Awards.
“We are building significant moment behind our international aviation recovery and the passenger experience is critical to promoting Perth as a regional and global destination,” said Perth Airport CEO, Kevin Brown. He was commenting on how the Aspire Lounge is an important element of the strategy to rebuild international air connections into Perth.
“The Aspire Lounge provides a cost-effective, high-quality experience for passengers travelling through T1 international, regardless of the airline they’re travelling with.
“International visitors to WA can become great advocates for our tourism industry and our State when they return home.”
Noting that the Aspire Lounge offers panoramic views of the airfield and the city’s skyline, he added: “That’s why it was so important for us to work with Aspire to ensure the fit-out really captured a sense of place celebrating our State.”
Featuring artwork and installations by local artists the lounge has been designed to reflect the community and culture of Western Australia and provides a high-quality finish, luxury travel amenities and zones for every type of traveller, including a kid’s zone.
“Pay-per-use lounges are becoming more popular at airports, as they provide passengers, regardless of what air ticket they have, a dedicated space to relax, refresh and recharge before a long flight,” added Brown.
“What makes this award all the more meaningful is that it was against strong competition from premium lounges in Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand.”
The regional win culminates in a grand final at the end of the year – date and location still to be announced.
