Banyan Tree Phuket, the flagship property of
Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts now has more than 40 awards and accolades to its name.
The eco-sensitive resort won honours last Friday for being the Best Asia-Pacific Resort Hotel for the second time in the Business Traveller
Asia-Pacific Awards.
The 2003 Readers' Poll was conducted among Business Traveller
Asia-Pacific's readers who are frequent travellers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Banyan Tree Phuket came out tops for its eco-sensitive design, innovative
luxury resort concept and the brand's signature service, exhibiting the best of
Asian hospitality. The award ceremony took place at Conrad International
Hong Kong, where former Philippine President Fidel Ramos was guest-of-honour.
On receiving the award, Banyan Tree Phuket's General Manager, Mr Kamal
Chaoui said: "We are indeed honoured to receive this award for the second
consecutive year. Maintaining the appeal of our resorts amidst stiff competition in a niche market is what has made Banyan Tree Phuket the
resounding success that it is. We promise to continue to dedicate ourselves to
bringing the best of our luxury villas and signature spa experiences to our
guests."
Business Traveller Asia Pacific, the Hong Kong-based publication that has
entered its 22nd year of publication, paid tribute to Banyan Tree's excellent
showing through this award. Its publisher Peggy Teo said: "In difficult times
such as these, the cream of the travel industry really does rise to the top. The
repeat success of this year's winners proves that excellence and creativity will
always win out." |
