Nominate Now in the That’s 2022 Hospitality Awards

We are delighted to announce that the sixth annual That’s National Hospitality Awards 2022 will be held in Shanghai this December.

We originally planned to host the award ceremony in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, but due to the current pandemic situation in the provincial capital, we have decided to move it to Shanghai. 

Launched in 2017, to coincide with the unveiling of our inaugural Explore China travel guide, the event is a celebration of China’s diverse hospitality industry key players.

During our sixth annual party, we are excited to launch the official WeChat account CityExplorer 在那里 and the official webpage for Explore China on thatsmags.com. The new digital platforms provide more functional and updated travel information and advice for both foreign and Chinese audiences.  

The That’s 2017 Hospitality Awards were held in the W Shanghai – The Bund and saw 200 leading industry professionals from across the Middle Kingdom gather to witness over 100 hotels honored for their excellence.

The following year, we brought the celebration to the Greater Bay Area in the esteemed Conrad Hotel, Guangzhou. Over 220 hospitality heavyweights from across China visited Guangzhou for the event.

And in 2019, we successfully held our third annual That’s Hospitality Awards at The Peninsula Beijing, highlighting a unique group of hotels and resorts from across the Middle Kingdom.

In 2020, we brought together more than a hundred industry leaders at Sheraton Nanshan Shenzhen to recognize the best of the best for a splendid evening.

Last year, we brought the fifth annual That’s Hospitality Awards back to The Langham Shanghai, Xintiandi where over 200 guests gathered for a night of fun, drinking and awards.

This year, we’re bringing the party to Shanghai for a celebration of the hospitality industry at the That’s 2022 Hospitality Awards this December.

Under the time-honored slogan ‘Forget the Journey, Go for the Destination,’ the event aims to introduce Chinese culture and the country’s most famous tourist destinations and hotels to an international audience.
