Sun City Resort, Pilanesberg/North West Province South Africa
The Sun City Resort which is located in the Pilanesberg National Park, a short 2 hour drive north west of Johannesburg, has been awarded as the Best Resort in Africa and Best in South Africa at the 12th annual World Travel Awards, which was held at the Royal Opera House in London. The awards ceremony effectively recognises the tremendous contributions and achievements of the global travel industry.
The World Travel Awards were conceived in 1993 to acknowledge and celebrate excellence in the world’s travel and tourism industry. Now in its twelve year, travel professionals and discerning travellers have come to regard the World Travel Awards as the very best endorsement that a travel product could hope to receive.
This is the world’s most comprehensive travel awards ceremony, with trophies awarded in all areas of the industry. Voting is cast by travel agents in over 200 countries around the world. Regional geographical categories are broken down from the Whole World category into eight smaller areas - Africa, Asia/Pacific, Caribbean, Central & Latin America, Europe, Middle East, North America and South America. These are then further divided into all areas of the travel industry. Hundreds and thousands of votes each year are registered online at the official World Travel Awards website, with most of the leading travel internet sites offering additional online voting facilities.
Achieving World Travel Award winner status is a true endorsement of a company’s achievements and services by fellow travel professionals who are critical in their judgment. It is also a powerful means of communicating a message of excellence to both existing and potential customers.
