PETALING JAYA: It started as a proud achievement for Mike, Farouq, Shantini (not their real names) when they found out that they were receiving awards at the Asia Pacific Tourism and Travel Award. But these tourism players are no longer bragging about their prizes. In fact, they have distanced themselves from the awards event.

On April 11, the trio were in their best formal wear and were excited to be recognised in front of industry peers. The Asia Pacific Tourism and Travel Federation (APTTF) had told them that they were getting very prestigious awards.
