Bensaude Hotels' Film A Ilha ("The Island") Wins Silver at the US International Awards

Bensaude Hotels' film A Ilha ("The Island") continues to gain recognition among the world's leading tourism productions. Following its Gold Medal at the Japan World Tourism Film Festival, its Platinum at the MUSE Creative Awards, and its Bronze at the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards, the film—produced by Lobby Films & Advertising—has now been awarded the Silver Medal at the US International Awards, one of the world's most prestigious festivals for tourism and corporate films.

With this latest recognition, A Ilha strengthens its standing as the second-ranked film in the CIFFT – World Best Tourism Film Awards rankings, remaining among the world's most acclaimed tourism communication projects in a closely contested competition with Switzerland Tourism's international hospitality campaign.

A Ilha presents a narrative that places the destination at the heart of the experience, inviting audiences to discover the natural beauty, rich culture, and emotional essence of the Azores Islands. Rather than relying on a conventional promotional approach, the film focuses on evocative storytelling, breathtaking landscapes, and the deep connection between visitors and the destination

By featuring Bensaude Hotels' properties in this narrative, the film positions them as the gateway to an authentic Azorean experience, where genuine hospitality is deeply rooted in the islands' identity. The result is a tribute to the archipelago that reinforces the brand's commitment to delivering meaningful and memorable experiences.
