Marco Polo announced that eight of the group’s hotels are inducted into TripAdvisor’s Hall of Fame

HONG KONG, 2015-6-3 — /Travel PR News/ — TripAdvisor has recently announced its “Hall of Fame”  inductees. This special designation is awarded to businesses that have earned a “Certificate of Excellence” for five consecutive years.

Hotels that have continually delivered a superior customer experience for its guests are awarded with the Certificate of Excellence. To receive this distinction five years in a row is no small feat: the Hall of Fame inductees consist of only 2% of the more than 4.9 million businesses listed on TripAdvisor. The eight proud winners of the Marco Polo hotel group are:

• Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel
• Prince Hotel
• Gateway Hong Kong
• Marco Polo Xiamen
• Marco Polo Shenzhen
• Marco Polo Wuhan
• Marco Polo Plaza Cebu
• Marco Polo Davao

Eric Waldburger, President of Marco Polo Hotels was delighted that eight of the group’s hotels won the award: “Nine of our fourteen Marco Polo properties have been operating for at least five years – for eight to receive this honour is an example of the commitment our group makes in providing our guests with superior service. Our Red Ring Philosophy that is applied across each of our hotels provides leadership, innovation, vision and experiences for our guests and demonstrates our objective to develop opportunities for the long term sustainability of the company.”
