Outclassing entries from Kenya, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Mozambique and Malaysia, North Queensland’s Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa has won the title of World’s Best Eco Lodge at the 2009 World Travel Awards.
Announced in London over the weekend, the Queensland business also took out the award for Australasia’s Leading Green Hotel.
Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor says the award wins are a stunning result for the Tropical North Queensland property.
"The World Travel Awards are described by the Wall Street Journal as the 'Oscars' of the global travel and tourism industry," Lawlor says.
"The win follows a vote by 183,000 travel agencies, tour and transport companies and tourism organisations in more than 160 countries across the globe,” he says.
This latest accolade follows the lodge’s win in the 2009 SpaFinder Readers’ Choice Awards, where it beat out 15,000 competitors to take out World’s Best Environmental Spa and World’s Best Boutique Spa categories.
According to Lawlor, Daintree Eco Lodge’s string of prestigious awards is helping to raise awareness of Queensland and boost the State’s tourism.
"Tourism Queensland markets four distinct themes which capture a range of Queensland tourism experiences and destinations: 'islands and beaches', 'natural encounters', 'adventure' and 'Queensland lifestyle'," he says.
"As part of this approach, Tourism Queensland in part focuses on eco and Indigenous tourism experiences directly through a range of PR, marketing and development activities and works with tourism operators throughout the state, including Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa."
