Record-breaking five award wins in one day for Dusit Thani Maldives

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dusit Thani Maldives has scooped up a record five awards in one day to finish off a multi-award winning first quarter of 2018. It proved to be a day full of success for the Dusit Thani Maldives’ team with awards and recognition received across a range of categories and international ceremonies.

Two of the awards were given at the Dusit Gracious Awards gala held at sister property, Dusit Thani Bangkok. These internal awards recognise and reward hotels and individual colleagues across the entire Dusit International group who demonstrate exemplary behaviour in implementing Dusit’s Vision, Mission and Values.

Reinhold Johann, the resort’s General Manager, collected The Planet Award on behalf of the whole team recognising outstanding sustainable development and CSR contribution to the Dusit Hotels & Resorts group. The resort has many sustainable and environmental activities in place and new ideas are in constant development. Each year, Dusit Thani Maldives raises funds for tree and coral planting among its many green and social initiatives.

Winning the coveted award of Rising Star was Mohamed Akram, Assistant Restaurant Manager in the resort, who was recognised for his exceptional performance, innovative approaches and the ultimate goal of providing meaningful experiences for each guest.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”18411″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Returning to the stage that night, Johann also collected the award for Hotel Of The Year 2017.
