Hotels Guide Launches Second Edition
UNITED KINGDOM, September 6, 2005. The second edition of the best- selling Asia's Best Hotels & Resorts, the region's only accommodation guidebook based on travellers' genuine opinions, was launched today. The new edition has 25 percent more hotels, 64 additional pages and includes a loyalty card -- a first for the travel publishing industry -- which gives discounts and a USD 15 rebate to purchasers who register with HotelClub.com.
The book contains 400 hotels and resorts covering 22 Asian countries and is an authoritative guide on where to stay on business or for pleasure. It is the culmination of an online survey conducted in 2004, in which over 64,000 nominations for 3,732 hotels and resorts were received from travellers in 162 countries. The editors and independent hotel inspectors sifted through comments and scores to select the most popular choices, and a team of expert travel writers compiled the entries.
Published in association with Insight Guides, the 384-page guide includes country overviews, and every hotel is rated on eight criteria including ambience, value for money, staff attitude, family friendliness and dining options. Maps highlight each hotel's location and over 1,000 full-colour photographs convey their ambience.
