Bahia Principe Clubs & Resorts Wins Award For Best Caribbean Hotel Chain in the U.S.

Apple Vacations, the top tour operator in the U.S., has given Bahia Principe Clubs and Resorts the Crystal Award, considered to be the most important prize in the tourism industry in the North American market.

The awards ceremony was held earlier in September in Chicago. During the evening, the Chairman of the American company, John Mullen, handed the prestigious award to the Chairman of Grupo Piñero, Mr. Pablo Piñero, who was accompanied by the CEO of the chain, Mr. Fausto Sedano.

The award for the “Best Hotel Chain” category bears witness to the important acknowledgment given to the chain by Apple Vacations, the premier tour operator in the U.S., as the results are obtained on the basis of the questionnaires sent to travel agencies to assess the quality of the product, facilities and services.

This is not the first time that this hotel chain, which belongs to the Piñero Group, has received international recognition, as it has received awards from the main European and Canadian tour operators since it was created just 10 years ago.

It has also received prizes from the American market, as it has received several of the prestigious Golden Apple awards since 2002. However, this is the first year the chain has been given this Tour Operator’s most important prize, the CRYSTAL AWARD, for the best hotel chain.

This award is the international recognition for the chain’s expansion in recent years and continued growth, as next November will see the inauguration in the Dominican Republic of Gran Bahia Principe La Romana and Gran Bahia Principe Ambar Don Pablo Collection, the new brand launched this year by the company.
