The World Travel Awards (WTA), described as the Oscars of the global travel and tourism industry, acknowledge the "best of the best" out of more than 500 nominees. The event was held in partnership with Hacienda Tres Rios, Cancun Convention & Visitors Bureau, Yucatan Holidays, Yucatan Travel, RCI and Vive Mexico. Luminaries attending the event included Mexico Secretary of Tourism Sara Latife Ruiz Chavez, who also serves as governor of the state of Quintana Roo.
The host resort had been nominated for recognition in several categories and proved its world-class status, taking the top nod as Mexico & Central America's Leading Green Hotel and Mexico and Central America's Leading All-Inclusive Resort.
Opened in November 2008, Hacienda Tres RÃ*os is the first resort of five at Tres RÃ*os. Hacienda Tres RÃ*os Resort boasts 273 suites featuring native materials and offering breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
While it is easy to see why Hacienda Tres Rios was named top all-inclusive, the elements that make an exceptional green operation blend seamlessly into the guest experience, striking a delicate balance of luxury holidays and conservation. This eco-luxury resort, located in a nature preserve, was constructed as part of a master plan that included more than two years of comprehensive environmental studies. The architectural design was based on rigorous environmental criteria and the buildings were placed on areas of lower environmental value. What's more, in 2006 the Mexican government recognized Hacienda Tres Rios as a "regional and national model for sustainable tourism development."
Feature-length articles appearing in the October editions of Perspective International Ltd's publications, Perspective and Owners Perspective, further describe eco-luxury master plan at Tres Rios resort, detail the criteria for recognition by the WTA and how it benefits the traveling public, and provide a list of additional winners.
