Phuket resort wins best in southern Thai
The 7th annual Thailand Tourism Awards for 2008 has awarded the Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket as the best hotel in southern Thailand. The Thailand Authority of Tourism (TAT) presents the awards each year to honor the best businesses in Thailand’s tourism industry.
The criteria used by the TAT judges includes level of service, corporate social responsibility, self-sufficiency, an attempt to preserve the natural environment and a desire to sustain local culture and art. Peter Komposch, General Manager of Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, was on hand to accept the award from the Thai Minister of Tourism and Sports.
“We not only do our best to maintain our unique five-star standard of services but also better our rooms and facilities, as well as our people, with a view to giving a refreshing experience for all guests, no matter what their journey,” Komposch said. “We also take environmental issues seriously. We have a very active Green Leaf Committee, that achieved for us a number of honorable environmental related awards.”
Dusit International is part of a utopian resort dream envisioned by King Rama VI in the early 1900s, which he termed Dusit Thani. Phuket FantaSea in Kamala took first in the list of six outstanding tourist attractions, and Phuket Sealand won the award for excellence in the inbound tour category.
