STATE WIState Winners
|
TripAdvisor, the world’s
largest travel site today announced the winners of its 2012 Travellers’ Choice®
Hotel Awards. Running in its 10th edition globally and 3rd edition in India,
the annual awards are based on the millions of valuable reviews and opinions
from travellers across India and the world. The awards recognise the best
hotels across seven categories for India - Luxury, Bargain, Service,
Relaxation and Spa, Top 25, B&Bs and /Inns and Trendiest hotels, a debut
category for India.
Kerala emerges as the most hospitable state with 42 winning
properties, knocking off last year’s winning state, Rajasthan which has 34
winning properties this year. Kerala also leads with the highest number of
winning hotels in the Top Relaxation & Spa and B&Bs and Inns list.
Interestingly, Rajasthan has the largest number of hotels in both Bargain and
Luxury hotels category, as well as Service, a testimony to Rajasthan’s well
known and exemplary hospitality. It also makes the state an ideal
destination for budget conscious & opulence seeking travellers alike.
The average nightly rate for the top Bargain hotels in
India is Rs.2, 100/- and top Luxury hotels is Rs.18,800/- This
clearly shows the wide spectrum of great accommodation options to suit
travellers of all budgets, dispelling any notions that great hospitality always
comes with a hefty price tag.
The prominent hotel
chains continue their tussle this year for a clear lead. The Oberoi Group has
the maximum number of winning properties (17) this year across all categories
followed closely by The Taj Group (16). Last year, the Taj Group had
outnumbered Oberoi by a slim margin of 2 winnings hotels.
Elaborating on the significance of the awards, Nikhil Ganju,
Country Manager of TripAdvisor India says, “The Travellers' Choice Awards are a
celebration of the heroes of the Indian hospitality industry – hotels that have
received an enthusiastic endorsement from millions of Indian travellers. They
are a testament to our vibrant hospitality industry which over the course of
the last 3 years, has grown to love and covet a TripAdvisor TCH Award more than
any other form of recognition of the excellent service, quality, value and
experience they provide. Not to mention the fact that they inspire millions of
travellers in India and abroad to pack their bags and make a beeline for these
hotels.”
