The african villegiature expands south east
If Morocco cities like Marrakesh or Casablanca gather more than ever several one-of-a-kind hotels with hotels managers knowing how to present at best their hotel with serious arguments, at this 2019 edition, the Villegiature Awards organisation was also really enthousiastic to receive many messages from hundreds of african hotels managers located in other far away parts of Africa. They were indicating us they will also participate and present their hotel. Hence, and I must say, for the first time in this proportion since we launched the african awards , we were finally in contact with more than 70 impressive hotels located i.e in South-Africa, in Zimbabwe, in Tanzania, and also of course in Cabo Verde, Maldives and Seychelles islands. Meawhile many of the applications we should have received were simply either not received at all or totally incomplete. In order to make Villegiature Awards a valuable approach, we cannot just receive a bulk of hundreds of photos to convince the team of journalists jury members. Specially since most of them are really influent, they are very often sollicitated by hotels communication managers, General Managers and even sometimes hotels owners directly.
The respect of Villegiature Awards rules is by then essential. At Villegiature a hotel manager has to fight at least a little to justify a hotel is to be considered as the very best one in its area. This is the reason why the application file consisting of only 1 page per category is to be filled in with serious care. No need to spend hours on it, but the essential facts and arguments are to be clearly mentionned, otherwise the risk not to be nominated is relatively high, even though a reputation can be high.
That apart, I must say this 2019 african edition will be outstanding, see here below the nominated hotels :
One & Only Reethi Rah, Maldives
