The Travellers Have Spoken: Nine Club Med Resorts across Asia Recognized in TripAdvisor’s Travellers Choice Best of the Best Awards 2023
In another impressive year for Club Med, the pioneer of the all-inclusive vacation concept with beach and mountain resorts worldwide, nine resorts have clinched multiple standings in TripAdvisor’s 2023 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards. Post-pandemic, travellers have once again given their vote of confidence to Club Med as their choice for a holiday destination. In particular, Club Med Tomamu came out top as the premier hotel in Japan and ranked #3 as the family-friendly hotel across Asia.
The Travellers’ Choice awards honour travellers’ favorite destinations, hotels and beyond, based on the reviews and opinions collected from travellers around the world on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period, and Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best is the highest honour presented by TripAdvisor. This recognition takes into account the quality and quantity of independent reviews and ratings and ranks the best in specific categories and geographic areas, as accorded by bona fide travellers with winners among the top one percent of listings on TripAdvisor.
“Being recognized consistently by global travellers is an incredible honour for Club Med,” said Rachael Harding, CEO of Club Med for East, South Asia and Pacific. “It validates our pioneering approach in delivering unique experiences in exceptional locations across the globe, ensuring that our guests have an effortless vacation that leaves lasting memories.”
