Johannesburg 6 September 2014 – The Royal Livingstone, a 5 star property within Sun International’s SUNLUX Collection – has been recognised as Zambia’s Leading Hotel in the World Travel Awards™ for the eighth time.
The Royal Livingstone stretches along the banks of the Zambezi River, just a short walk from its own exclusive entrance to The Victoria Falls. It is named in honour of the explorer Dr. David Livingstone and its interior design reflects the elegance of African days gone by, in a modern, luxurious style. Guests may enjoy elephant safaris, walking with cheetahs, Big 5 safaris, helicopter rides over the Victoria Falls or stunning spa treatments in gazebos on the river’s edge.
The World Travel Awards™ celebrates excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry. Today, the World Travel Award brand is recognised globally as a hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire. The annual programme is renowned as the most prestigious and comprehensive in the travel and tourism industry.
“We are thrilled with the win that The Royal Livingstone, part of Sun International’s SUNLUX Collection, has achieved at the prestigious World Travel Awards,” says Joanne Selby, General Manager of Sun International Zambia. She continues “To be declared Zambia’s Leading Hotel once again, by travel and tourism professionals worldwide, is an accolade for my team and we are truly proud and delighted to have been recognised for The Royal Livingstone’s commitment to excellence.”
