The Gold Circle Award is “given to accommodations around the world that embody the best qualities of the online hospitality industry,” according to a press statement released by Agoda, which describes itself as the leading hotel booking website in Asia.
Last year, only 42 hotels from the Philippines were given the Gold Circle Award.
“We are very pleased to announce winners of the 2014 Gold Circle Awards,” said Errol Cooke, vice president for global hotels at Agoda. “In an extremely competitive industry, these properties have shown an outstanding level of commitment to the intersection of cutting-edge technology and world-class service.”
Now on its sixth year, the Gold Circle Awards are given to properties based on “aggregate customer reviews, competitiveness of pricing, utilization of Agoda.com’s custom-built Yield Control System, and a deep understanding of the complexities of the online booking industry.”
