"South Africa has a reputation for warm hospitality and our establishments play a huge role in that. The TravelGround Awards are a way for us to acknowledge those establishments that exceed expectations," says joint-CEO, Marcel van de Ghinste.''

The 100 awards cover a range of popular tourism regions, cities, and smaller towns in South Africa. The winners were selected from establishments listed on the TravelGround platform based on consistently excellent feedback and high quality reviews from guests during the previous year. TGCSA gradings and facilities offered were not major considerations, meaning that all establishments that deliver service excellence were considered.

"We considered hundreds of establishments when deciding on the winners, as we have so many fantastic establishments, and some tough choices had to be made. We are exceptionally proud to be associated with our winning establishments who are truly ambassadors for our country’s hospitality industry," says marketing manager, Peter Hanley.

The winners of the 2015 TravelGround Awards can be viewed on their website.
