The Venetian Macao’s increasing popularity among South Asian visitors got a boost recently with accolades from one of the region’s leading lifestyle magazines.
Travel + Leisure India & South Asia named the Cotai megaresort “The Best Luxury Resort in the World” for the second year running as part of its annual “World’s Best Awards,” chosen by readers of the magazine and presented recently in Mumbai.
Mark McWhinnie, senior vice president of operations for The Venetian and Sands Cotai Central, said the property was “very pleased” with the recognition.
“The entire team works very hard to help distinguish us through service quality and our integrated resort product offering,” he said.
Macau received 1.4 million visitors last year from India and South Asia, which have emerged as important tourism markets for Macau and in particular for the five integrated resorts on Cotai: Sands China’s The Venetian and The Plaza Macao and its three-hotel/two-casino complex comprising Sands Cotai Central; and Galaxy Entertainment Group’s Galaxy Macau; and City of Dreams, owned and operated by Melco Crown Entertainment.
Travel + Leisure has been conducting its “World’s Best Awards” for 12 years and added an “India’s Best Awards” in 2011. The polling for the awards is conducted through the magazine and online.
