SINGAPORE, 4 OCTOBER 2013 – World Sentosa was named the Best Integrated Resort for the third consecutive year at the 24th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2013 held in Bangkok yesterday. Organised by TTG Asia, the awards recognise the best of Asia Pacific’s travel industry.

Mr Roger Lienhard, Senior Vice President of Attractions and Resort Sales at said the third-time win is a feather in the cap for the Resort, which had just launched its latest attraction, Dolphin Island at the resort’s Adventure Cove Waterpark this month.

He said: “Resorts World Sentosa opened in 2010, and we haven’t looked back since. A trailblazing model that changed the face of tourism in and the region, competitors are now copying our model. While no one has quite replicated what we did here, we still have to stay ahead.”

“We are placing greater emphasis towards marketing the Resort as a destination where visitors can spend an excitement-packed and fun-filled vacation over four full days, in a destination offering both a Universal Studios theme park as well as the world's largest aquarium.”

This month, Halloween Horror Nights returns to Universal Studios Singapore for its third terrifying run; November will see the premiere of the musical Lightseeker, RWS’s third original production which features songs by award-winning songwriter Dick Lee; and the Resort will celebrate Christmas with a bang in December.

Mr Lienhard added, “Votes for this award were cast by the travel trade industry, which makes the award even more meaningful for the 13,000 RWS team members who have collectively delivered unforgettable experiences for our guests. Three is an auspicious number for the Cantonese, and because all good things come in threes, we would like to celebrate this win with our guests, our travel partners and our team members.”
