Malaysia Airlines bagged Asia's Leading Airline award, while Resorts World Genting scooped Asia's Leading Family Resort and Asia's Leading Casino Resort titles.
Tourism Malaysia's "Malaysia: Truly Asia" tagline was also voted Asia's leading marketing campaign at the star-studded function in Grosvenor House, a JW Marriot Hotel, in London's Mayfair.
Hilton Kuala Lumpur took home two titles - for Asia's Leading City Hotel and Asia's Leading Design Hotel - while Asia's Leading Airport Hotel award went to Pan-Pacific Kuala Lumpur International Airport Hotel.
MAS chairman Tan Sri Dr Munir Majid and Genting Malaysia Berhad president and chief operating officer Datuk Lee Choong Yan received their awards from Miss Vietnam/ Miss World 2009 contestant Huong Giang.
Dr Majid said the recognition bore testament that the global industry and travellers recognised the national carrier's brand of service delivery.
