Choice Hotels Australasia has announced its Franchisee of the Year award winners at its black tie gala dinner, held during their 2014 Australasian conference at The Langham, Auckland.  

The event honoured four outstanding properties across each of the Choice Hotels brands including Econo Lodge Napier, Comfort Inn & Suites City Views, Quality Hotel Taylors Lakes and Clarion Hotel City Park Grand, Launceston.

Choice Hotels Australasia’s chief executive officer, Trent Fraser, said the evening provided an opportunity for the hotel franchise group to celebrate its franchisees and their contributions to the Choice Hotels brands.  

“Our annual awards give us the opportunity to recognise and reward our franchisees that have demonstrated excellence within their brand over the past twelve months. Each of these franchisees has shown dedication to providing the highest level of customer services which is critical to the successful operation of a hotel,” Fraser said.  

More than 220 people walked the red carpet at the black tie awards evening to support the outstanding achievements of the group over the past 12 months.  

Delegates also had the opportunity to hear from the People Interpreter, Allison Mooney, Contiki Holidays Founder, John Anderson and Technology Futurist and Digital Evangelist, Chris Riddell.  

There are more than 270 properties in the Choice Hotels network and to qualify for awards consideration, each business is required to meet strict criteria relating to property development and growth, participation in Choice Hotels’ training, conference, sales and marketing activities as well as receiving consistently high guest feedback.  

All award-winning individuals and properties were nominated and judged by an executive panel of members from Choice Hotels Australasia’s Senior Management team.
