The annual business awards competition recognises innovation in all its forms and is open to organisations in 17 countries across the region.

The mobile app was introduced at the start of the ongoing Silver Jubilee Season and has been met with critical acclaim by industry professionals and park enthusiasts alike, introducing users to simplicity and convenience.
The first three months since the app’s launch saw over 33,000 new users and 100 percent growth in online ticket sales, with a 163 percent increase in app downloads and 127 percent app store improvement rating compared to the same period a year prior has also been recorded.
Jaki Ellenby, Executive Director Marketing and Events, Global Village, said, "Under the guidance of our inspirational leadership, the Global Village IT and marketing teams worked tirelessly alongside digital agencies MobiiWorld and Digital Of Things in the midst of the pandemic to be ready in time for the Season 25 opening. The introduction of the app is part of our ongoing digital roadmap and we have continued to improve functionality and pilot new features throughout the season."
