Centara Hotels & Resorts has been collecting the equivalent of its own Olympic Gold Medals with no less than eight of its properties being awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 2012.
Three of the group’s resorts have also garnered the prestigious Travellers’ Choice award for 2012.
The awards, conducted by TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site, are based entirely on guest recommendations.
“This is wonderful news for us and all of our team, as the results are based solely on the satisfaction of our guests,” says Thirayuth Chirathivat, chief executive officer of Centara Hotels & Resorts. “The awards are very significant for us, and we all feel an immense pride in what we are doing and the favourable impression we are helping to generate of Thailand as a top tourism destination.”
The 2012 awards, the 10th in the annual series, were TripAdvisor’s biggest awards ever, featuring hotels and resorts from 30 countries.
The Certificate of Excellence award honours hospitality excellence and is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor.
