Three Fivestar PR clients amongst world's best

No less than three of Fivestar PR's hospitality clients were ranked among the coveted Top 100 Hotels & Resorts in the World in the recently announced Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards for 2012. The three, Singita, Steenberg and The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, were among only eight South African destinations and just ten properties on the African continent to be included as the world's very best.

Winners are determined by some 46 000 readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine in the USA, who make their choice from the hotels and resorts, cities and islands they have visited in the past year, as well as cruise ships and airlines they have travelled on.

Vote is authentic

"This is a very proud occasion for us," says head of Fivestar PR, Janie van der Spuy. "We have become known in the industry as luxury travel PR specialists and distinguish ourselves by representing only the very best hospitality and travel products. Across the world the Condé Nast Traveler platform is regarded by discerning international travellers as a trusted source of travel advice, and the fact that every vote is determined by a reader's personal experience makes it even more authentic and remarkable."

The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa in Cape Town swept the board among the Top 15 Hotels in Africa - coming in at number one, while Steenberg in the Constantia valley got the nod as one of the top ten destinations on the African continent, in the category Top 25 Resorts & Safari Camps in Africa. Singita is the only safari operator to have two of their South African products listed this year - Singita Kruger National Park and Singita Sabi Sand, with these each taking second and third places respectively among the Top 25 Resorts & Safari Camps in Africa.
