The Rees Hotel today announced it has been recognized twice this month in global awards: as New Zealand’s Leading Hotel Residences 2020  in the 27th World Travel Awards announced on 11 November and, today, as New Zealand’s Best Ski Hotel 2020 in the 8th annual World Ski Awards.

CEO and general manager Mark Rose said, “During a year of extreme challenges for the tourism and hospitality sectors worldwide, we are thrilled to again be recognised- and to double down- on winning both these prestigious global awards. This recognition for the level of excellence our hotel continually strives for, is a reflection on the commitment of our team and a credit to their outstanding achievements on a daily basis, despite the global pandemic.”

WORLD TRAVEL AWARDNew Zealand’s Leading Hotel Residences 2020

Despite the incredible challenges faced by our industry over the course of 2020, this year’s World Travel Awards nomination programme reported record visitor traffic and engagement from the public voter (the all-important tourism consumer). This shows that as the global recovery begins, the appetite for tourism has never been as keen and offers hope and much needed encouragement to us all.
With the rising demand for future travel comes a notable trend from the consumer to seek out and book the very best tourism products from across the world. As we look to the future, this trend is why winning both of these awards has never been more valuable.

Winners were invited to unite virtually as World Travel Awards launched its inaugural Oceania Winners Day on 11th November. To coincide with the unveiling of the 2020 Oceania winners to the consumer marketplace, Oceania Winner’s Day showcased the very best of the region’s travel and tourism sector to the world.

And as we continue to work towards a better future, winning a World Ski Award this year is also more important than in any other year. The ski tourism consumer will want to know that they will be booking with only the very best. The much-anticipated unveiling of this year’s winners on worldskiawards.com, coincides with the launch of the first WSA Winners Day on Friday 20th November.

This win comes fast on the heels of another prestigious award for winter-lovers and The Rees: Ski & Snowboard With Kids magazine’s 2020 awards saw The Rees Hotel Queenstown judged by industry experts as Best New Zealand Ski Hotel.
