Valamar Riviera’s hotels have received the most prestigious recognition in the hospitality business- the World Travel Awards, thus reconfirming their status as top Croatian hotels operating according to the highest standards in hospitality and tourism.
Three Valamar hotels received awards in four categories. For the fifth consecutive year the Valamar Riviera 4* hotel in Poreč claimed the title of Croatia’s Leading Boutique Hotel, while Valamar Girandella Resort in Rabac was already hailed as Croatia’s Leading Resort in its very first year of operation. The Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik 4* received even two prestigious awards -Leading business hotel for the fourth consecutive year, and Croatia’s Leading Hotel for the fourth consecutive year (previously awarded in 2013, 2015 and 2016).
With awards in all four nominated categories, Valamar hotels have completely outstripped their competitors consisting of renowned Croatian hotels, many of them being five-star hotels.
“The fact that we received the World Travel Award for the fifth year in a row is the best indicator of our continuous effort to provide the best possible service. Croatia’s Leading Boutique hotel is a recognition that results from the continuous effort of our former and present employees at Valamar Riviera and it motivates us greatly to persevere in our efforts in the years to come, said Marko Miš, hotel general manager at the Valamar Riviera.
“The honor to receive such a recognition in your first year of operation is even greater, much as the responsibility to justify this award. With this year’s investment, Valamar Riviera has turned Rabac into a top holiday destination, and our guests and the professional world have recognized this as an exceptional value, “confirmed Karmela Višković, GM at Valamar Girandella Resort.
“Being chosen as the Leading Business Hotel confirms the results achieved by the Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik in the MICE segment, as well as our continual efforts to improve the service quality. This World Travel Award is also a recognition of our staff’s excellent work and confirms the fact that the Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik has always been the top choice among Croatian business hotels, “said Ivica Sabljić, GM at Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik.
World Travel Awards celebrates its 24th anniversary year in 2017. It was established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries. Hailed as the Oscars of the travel industry by the Wall Street Journal, the awards cover a broad range of categories. Since candidates are voted by travel industry professionals, it is a great honor to compete for this coveted trophy.
