TTG China Travel Awards honours world-class performance, service and facilities

Macao – The Venetian® Macao-Resort-Hotel has been voted the Best Meetings & Conventions Hotel in Macau by the 7th Annual TTG China Travel Awards 2014 – its seventh consecutive win in the category. The honour reflects solid industry recognition by event planners and conference organisers for this meetings destination since the Awards were inaugurated in 2008, demonstrating The Venetian Macao's uninterrupted commitment to service excellence and its premium facilities. This latest accolade is one of over 100 awards the Cotai Strip Resorts Macao integrated resort city has received to date.

“The Venetian Macao is extremely proud to have received this distinctive award for seven years straight, proof that our ongoing effort and dedication have succeeded in making us the number one meetings and conventions hotel in Macao,” said Ciaran Carruthers, Senior Vice President and Director of Venetian and Plaza Operations for Venetian Macau Limited. “We will continue to strive to deliver the best experience like nowhere else to all clients, strengthening Macao's position as the premier destination for business and leisure travellers in the region, and contributing to the development of the MICE industry here.”

The Venetian Macao is specifically designed to meet the needs of meeting planners and event organisers and its award-winning service team makes anything possible for corporate events. With over 100,000 square metres of state-of-the-art exhibition space, flexible meeting space and ballrooms, the sheer size and scale of the Cotai Expo and the Cotai Arena at The Venetian Macao set them apart. The four-day Tupperware Brands Corporation Asia-Pacific conference held at Cotai Strip Resorts Macao in February, the largest ever held at the integrated resort city, once again successfully proved the unrivalled ability of this meetings destination in hosting events on a massive scale.

The coveted TTG award was bestowed on The Venetian Macao by TTG Travel Trade Publishing at the 7th Annual TTG China Travel Awards 2014 Ceremony & Gala Dinner April 17 at InterContinental Shanghai Puxi in China. Winners were voted for by the readers of TTG China, TTG-BTmice China, TTG Asia, TTG India, TTGmice and TTG Asia Luxury.
