The multi award-winning Royal Cliff Beach Resort recently celebrated its elevation to the “TTG Travel Hall of Fame” at a colourful Awards Celebration Party held at the poolside of the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel.
The Royal Cliff Beach Resort became the first hotel in the world and the first tourism business in Thailand to be elevated to the “TTG Travel Hall of Fame” at the 17th Annual Travel Awards 2006, held in Pattaya on 12 October. Induction into the coveted Travel Hall of Fame is an accolade given only if an organisation has won at least 10 awards in TTG Travel Awards instituted by the Travel Trade Gazette Asia (TTG Asia) and the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA).
Since the inception of the Awards 17 years ago, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort has won 11 such awards – the Best Resort Hotel - Asia Pacific award for eight consecutive years from 1989 and the Best Meetings & Conventions Hotel award in 2002, 2004 and 2005. In recognition of this unique achievement, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort was inducted into the prestigious TTG Travel Hall of Fame, becoming the first representative from Thailand and the first Hotel in all of Asia to be admitted. So far, only three other organisations in the world have achieved this elevation.

Congratulating the management and staff of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort and PEACH, Mr. Sakthip Krairiksh, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, said, “The elevation of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort to the TTG Travel Hall of Fame is truly a remarkable achievement and a tribute to the standards of Thailand’s Tourism industry, showing that Thailand can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world. It also serves as a recognition of how Pattaya has moved with the times and reinvented itself as a truly world class Tourism destination.”
Pattaya is Thailand’s favourite beach resort, attracting over three and a quarter million international visitors annually and today has earned a reputation for developing emerging markets such as Russia, India and China and MICE business, as well as retaining a healthy share of the mature markets, he observed.
Earlier in her welcome address, Mrs. Panga Vathanakul, Managing Director of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort and PEACH, said the 34 year history of the Resort has been honoured with numerous awards and citations from distinguished organisations around the world, the most recent being the ‘Thailand Tourism Award of Excellence as the Best Convention Hotel in the Eastern Region’.
“But the news that the Royal Cliff Beach Resort has been elevated to the TTG Travel Hall of Fame marks a milestone for us – and indeed, for Thailand’s Hotel industry. Our elevation to the TTG Travel Hall of Fame inspires all of us to continue to strive to achieve the best in all that we do. This award is an endorsement of Thailand’s Tourism industry and of the world class standards which our country can achieve – thank you all, for helping us to achieve it,” Mrs. Panga added.
The Awards Celebration Party was attended by top representatives of travel agencies, industry partners and media.
