Global Traveler Hosts Gala Reception for Award Winners
Yardley, Pa. (PRWEB) December 11, 2015 -- Global Traveler hosted its 12th annual GT Tested Reader Survey awards reception Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2015, at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, marking the fifth consecutive year the event has been held at luxury hotel, named Best Individual Hotel in the United States in this year’s survey. In celebration, the event moved to the hotel’s rooftop, offering views of the city.
More than 200 guests gathered to congratulate the respected winners on their achievements. Guest of honor Cat Cora appeared on behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Cora is a celebrity chef and restaurateur, and her new book, Cooking As Fast As I Can, is a New York Times bestseller.
Cora urged attendees to donate travel-related prizes to Global Traveler’s charity auction, benefitting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The auction kicks off March 1. Founded in 1949 and headquartered in White Plains, N.Y., LLS is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services.

Airbus, the lead sponsor, raffled a timepiece, a scale model of an Airbus A380 (voted Best Aircraft Type in this year’s survey) and a trip for two, with business-class airfare, to Toulouse, France. China Airlines, also a sponsor, raffled five bottles of Dom Perignon.
