The five-star Furama Resort in the central city of Danang has won the “Vietnam’s Leading Resort” title for 2008 by the World Travel Awards, the most prestigious awards programme in the international travel industry.

A total of 800 nominated companies and organisations were holding their breath to see if they had captured one of the coveted awards, bringing the recipients worldwide recognition as supreme center’s of excellence.

As designed, Furama Resort Danang covers almost 4ha on Vietnam’s Bac My An sea beach. It was 198 orientally elegant rooms equipped with state-of-art utilities.

The awards cover Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, among others.

“The awards are not gold medals,” said Graham Cooke, President and Founder of the highly respected World Travel Awards. “But they certainly carry the same kind of kudos and international acclaim that the gold medal winners receive.”
