October 3, 2013 - Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) continues to win industry recognitions as its two flagship properties struck success at the “2013 Winning Awards Presentation Ceremony for the Most Popular Hong Kong and Macau Brands” held in Guangzhou. StarWorld Hotel was named the “Most Popular Brand for Tourists - Starlight Award” and Galaxy Macau™ was recognized as the “Most Popular Brand for Tourists - Gold Trophy Award”, adding two more accolades to the long list of awards achieved by GEG.

The annual “Winning Awards Presentation Ceremony for the Most Popular Hong Kong and Macau Brands” aims to acknowledge tourism brands with high-quality service and excellent reputation among travelers from Mainland China. With a panel of judges formed by China Media Network, as well as Hong Kong and Macau Individual Visit Scheme Organizing Committee, the ceremony has become an important channel for Mainland travelers to gain better understanding about the brands of Hong Kong and Macau since its establishment in 2008.

This is already the second year for StarWorld Hotel to receive the “Most Popular Brand for Tourists - Starlight Award” at the ceremony. Committing to the “Asian Heart” service philosophy, StarWorld Hotel has been striving to provide top-notch travel experience from dinning to entertainment and maintain every aspect of its service at five-star quality since its opening seven years ago. With great support from its visiting guests and the panel of judges, Galaxy Macau was announced the “Most Popular Brand for Tourists – Gold Trophy Award” in its first participation in the ceremony. This important recognition will draw even more tourists to the New Palace of Asia to enjoy a royal-like holiday experience and a diversity of leisure and entertainment amenities.
