Below
we are pleased to announce the winners of the 2002 Premier
Travel Awards for Excellence.
The 2002 awards received a record
number of votes, with a total of 6,081 votes made throughout the year -
our sincere thanks to all those that shared their time, and travel wisdom
by voting in the awards.
The
results are once again amazing and we received votes for every type of
hotel, bar and restaurant imaginable. From the top 5 star hotels to
properties most
would never have heard of, from regular bars and disco's across Asia, to
some a lot more 'unusual'. The results below reflect the most number of
votes received in each individual category. Of the 6,081 votes received
68% of the people that voted travel to or within Asia on average 7- 15 times a year, 52% were from within the Asia
Pacific region (including Australia) and 29% from Europe and the
remainder from elsewhere.
Interestingly
many hotels have managed to retain their position as the best
in that city, despite newer properties opening, although some did drop
from the winning three as well others rose. The one hotel that
does stand out the most must be the Burj Al Arab in
Dubai, which for the
fourth year in a row, has won the title of Best Hotel in the World. The
new category we added in 2002 also has created an interesting result as
the winning property did not win the most votes in its respective city category but did in
the category of Best Hotel in Asia Pacific, and that is The Oriental
Bangkok. Congratulations to all.
