DUSIT THANI MANILA RECIPIENT OF GOLD CIRCLE AWARD FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS

Makati, Philippines, 2013-02-27 — /travelprnews.com/ — Dusit Thani Manila, Dusit International’s flagship property in the Philippines is once again the recipient of the Gold Circle Award 2012 by Agoda.com, Asia’s leading hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN).

This is the second year that the hotel received such a prestigious award.  Launched in 2009, the awards are given to Agoda.com partners who are committed to accommodating the unique needs of the online booking industry, which has seen significant and steady global growth as technology continues to make online booking faster, easier and more convenient.

Previous Gold Circle Award winners were chosen because of their outstanding performance on  Agoda.com, a high number of positive customer reviews, and their utilization of Agoda.com’s custom-built Yield Control System (YCS). This year, however, the bar has been raised a bit higher, and the new judging criteria made the list even more exclusive.

Agoda.com now also takes into account a greater amount of data, including aggregate scores for customer reviews, top-performing properties, competitive pricing, and for showing an understanding of the complex business dynamics that define the industry.

Situated in the heart of Central Business District of Makati, Dusit Thani Manila continues to render impeccable service combining Thai hospitality and Filipino geniality at its finest, ensuring an experience that will enliven guests’ stay no matter what the journey.
