Sun International’s Royal Livingstone Hotel, which boasts stunning views of the Victoria Falls, has been voted Zambia’s Leading Hotel in the 2012 World Travel Awards - making it the eighth time it has won the award.
The prestigious award comes hot on the heels of the hotel’s recent acknowledgement as one of Travel & Leisure’s top 500 hotels in the world.
Winning a World Travel Award is one of the highest commendations in the travel and tourism industry and this triumph serves as a testament to the hotel’s hard work and commitment to excellence over the past 12 months.
Sun International’s beautiful Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia offers travellers the perfect hideaway to unwind and recharge their batteries. The five-star hotel offers the ultimate African encounter to those who seek excellence and quality in their leisure experiences.
General Manager Joanne Selby said: “The tourism and hospitality industry is highly competitive and we can’t afford to rest on our laurels. Each year we continue to strive for excellence and seek ways to better improve our service offering to keep up with global trends. We are honoured by this recognition.”
Over the years the Royal Livingstone Hotel has also made a real, measurable and sustained contribution to responsible tourism and has received numerous accolades over the years.
Selby said: “With the resort’s location within both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the onus is on us to ensure that we are environmentally conscious.
“Furthermore, as a trusted partner in the economic empowerment of our community through varied environmental, social welfare and entrepreneurship initiatives, we are committed to ensure that our business success is reflected in the communities in which we operate.”
