Portuguese agency wins international award at the 25th Golden Horse Awards for the project delivered at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.

Multilem has been internationally recognized at the 25th edition of the Golden Horse Awards, promoted by the CTGF – China Tourism Group Forum, receiving the “Global Outstanding Cultural & Tourism Service Provider of the Year” award, one of the most prestigious categories of the ceremony, held in Qingdao, China.

The award honors the work developed for the Lai Ba Saudi Travel Festival, a large-scale event held at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, which welcomed over 500,000 visitors across eight days. The project stood out for its innovative approach and its ability to create an immersive experience that crossed cultural boundaries and fostered dialogue between different traditions.

This is already the third distinction awarded to Multilem in China in 2025. In January, the agency received two other awards for the same project: “Best Cross-Border Marketing Case (2023–2024)” by Advertising Billboard, and “Overseas Tourism Promotion of the Year” by Jiemian News. Both accolades reinforced the media and tourism impact of the festival, which generated more than 1.2 billion impressions and led to the sale of 5,400 travel packages to destinations in Saudi Arabia.

According to Pedro Castro, CEO of Multilem Worldwide, “This award reinforces Multilem’s position as an international benchmark in the creation of culturally relevant brand experiences. Working on a stage like the Temple of Heaven, and now being recognized with this distinction, is a testament to the quality of our team’s work and the trust that our partners place in Multilem.”

The event was developed in partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) and transformed 7,000 square meters of the iconic site into a cultural celebration hub, featuring live shows, interactive activations, and exhibitions showcasing destinations such as Diriyah, AlUla, and Jeddah.

With this award, Multilem reinforces its commitment to excellence, innovation, and cultural sensitivity, consolidating its presence as a global agency specialized in the design, production, and management of brand experiences anywhere in the world.
