Guest-house receives award
2009-05-28
THE Akademie Street Guesthouse in Franschhoek was one of 38 winners of the 2009 AA Travel Guides American Express Accommodation Awards, which was awarded at the recent tourism Indaba in Durban. Now in its sixteenth year, this consumer-based programme is well known for identifying and awarding the best tourist accommodation establishments in South Africa, thereby giving them a huge marketing advantage. More than 47 000 consumers commented on approximately 1 300 AA Quality Assured or star graded establishments across the country this year. Convenor Vanessa Sand says the awards programme grows in size every year and this year competition has been particularly stiff. “The fact that only establishments with recognised quality indicators may enter the programme already sets a high standard and after a rigorous judging process we are confident that our winners are the best in the market.”
